Ensuring we continue to be the friendliest club on the bay!

I am sure the overwhelming majority of you reading this will agree that RMYS is a friendly and welcoming club. However, from my experience on the General Committee, during the 6 years when I was Treasurer and since re-joining, I have been made aware of the odd occasion when a member has behaved in an unfriendly or inappropriate manner. I am referring to behaviour which could be interpreted as aggressive, offensive or non-inclusive towards to other members or staff.  This is totally unacceptable.

Now we could put up posters to remind everyone, but I believe actions speak louder than words. So, all current members of General Committee and our Sub-committees have committed to calling out any unacceptable behaviour which they witness, and we will support any member doing so. If we are not present and you witness an incident, please let us know since we will investigate and take further action where necessary.

We want you to know that we will do all we can to ensure that the Squadron gives a warm welcome to all members and their guests, and that everyone is able to relax, feel safe and enjoy the company of others.
