Local Groups Workshop
During the meetings of the Groups Task Group, it became apparent that Hostelling and Local Groups might have questions about the changes put in place by YHA to the affiliation system and operating a club separate from YHA. Therefore the Task Group included in its recommendation to the Board of Trustees that YHA host a one day workshop to take Groups through the changes and answer any questions.
Your Group is therefore invited to attend the workshop and it is very much hoped that a representative from your Group will be available to attend, as this is an opportunity to gather together information relevant to the continued running of the Group
The Task Group will be hosting the day with help from other YHA staff and Board members. The workshop will provide Groups with information about the new Affiliate Club system and some guidance on running your Group independently from YHA. The workshop will cover:
- Background to YHA’s decision
- New Affiliate Club system
- Changes for some Hostelling and Local Groups
- Group membership cards and booking hostels
- New insurance package on offer
- Advertising and new member recruitment
- Further opportunities within YHA
[STOP PRESS: The full programme is now available]
The day will be structured as a series of workshops so that small groups can ask more detailed questions than would be possible in a large plenary session.
Included in the day will be refreshments and lunch but unfortunately no accommodation or travel expenses costs can be covered for delegates attending. Accommodation has been set-aside at the hostel for Friday and Saturday night so please specify your requirements as soon as possible and bookings will be made on your behalf. After 10th October 2006 the remaining unreserved beds will be opened up for other guests to book.
