Help needed for fundraising

At YSC we have lots of great ideas on how we can raise money for a new clubhouse, but we need help from the membership and community to do this. Please take a look at the following list and join us on Sunday December 6th for the 3rd Funding Workshop

Funding Workshop Round 2 Update

Thank you for all those members who came along to the first Funding Workshop a few weeks ago. We had an excellent time pulling together more ideals for funding. We also took the opportunity to firm up the plans we already had to start getting dates in the diary.

The next Funding Workshop will be this Saturday 31st October at the Clubhouse starting 10am until 1pm. Remember this is open to all members, because without you, this isn't going to happen. We currently have an overwhelming number of ideas, but we need to start putting those into action and that means we need members to commit to activities and start planning. Every penny matters and we need every penny if we can raise £275,000

We have put together a small video to remind everyone what we have now and why we need to build a new club to strengthen the future of Yeadon Sailing Club. It's not just about a lick of paint, a ramp and a bit for felt for the roof, we have to go right back to the base and start again.



The see the current funding ideas action list, please click here. Highlights include plans for Tony to sail for 24hours on the tarn, Marcus to run int he Yorkshire Warrior, a YSC cook book, Quizzes, Raffles and much, much more. But more is still needed.

Other activities underway at present:

Lease
Without a new lease in place then we will not be able to secure big money funding. Therefore we are currently working with the council to update this. Andrew, Leonie and Howard are currently collecting information from the trustees for the legal documents which are in the process of being drawn up.

Planning
Our first submission for planning was turned down on 3 points. Most of these have been resolved, but we have to undertake a Phase 1 Contamination Survey due to the clubs proximity to a landfill. This has been commissioned and John is working hard on getting this in order for the councils planning team.

Fund raising
We are finalising our application for a Just Giving account so that all sponsorship can be collected in a single place. We have donation options available already on the website so please check these out, and DONATE!

We have also setup an account with Easy Fund Raising, this means every penny you spend online via Easy Fund Raising, we get cash back, so please look at using this for all you online Christmas Purchases. http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/yeadonsailingclub/

Marketing

Chris Gaunt has been working with the marketing team to pull together banners to promote the project, Version 1 can be seen along side.

And finally...
We just want to say a big thank you to club treasurer Louise. Louise is putting a vast amount of work into this project at present, helping to handle the financial matters of the project and put up with the project managers random accounting requests. So please thank her the next time you see her.

Check out the plans!

We recently revealed our plans at the recent Community Engagement Day held at the club on September 13th. If you haven't seen these already then please download a copy here:

As the summer cracks the flags, the YSC new facilities project team push on!

The council have provided a response to the Heads of Terms regarding the lease, this is a significant step and means we are getting closer to our goal of completing the lease negotiations.

John has been back to the drawing board and update the plans prior to planning submission in September. You can see the latest plans by clicking here

Glenis is pulling together the stakeholder lists as part of her work in engaging the community which is planned to be held at the club on September 13th 11am until 1pm.

Bob and Catherine are preparing to table a funding meeting at the club on September 2nd at 7.30 PM, if you have any money spinning ideas, then come along (let me know if you are planning on it, so I know how many biscuits to get).

I have been recording videos of members recalling how they get into sailing, looking at the progress above this seems like easy work, but it's very helpful in inspiring others to back our cause.

As ever if you have any questions, please contact me at project@yeadonsailingclub.co.uk

New Facilities Update From The Building Team

We had a great meeting at the club tonight to talk about the building timeline for our new clubhouse including planning, contracting, knock down and build. This may look very rough, but this is the start of our grand plan. Already started mapping it to Zoho Projects!

Loads to do, but looking good. Thank you Tony and John!

Facing Facts - Why we need a new Club House and how we plan to achieve it

A few years ago we started to think seriously about our the future of our club house. We explored various options to see how we could upgrade our facilities. The decision was made to build a new club house on the space we have today. A more solid and secure building, with better access and updated facilities.

To explain the what why and how, we have assembled this useful document about facing the facts of a new building project.
