Discover Sailing Day 2021
Published Thu 26 Aug 2021
Every year clubs across the country are invited to participate in the ‘Discover Sailing Day’ initiative to open up sailing to your local community. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic Australian Sailing will not promote a National Discover Sailing Day campaign in 2021. We will however provide clubs with all of the usual templates and the Discover Sailing Day finder on the Australian Sailing website to run Discover Sailing Day events where appropriate in accordance with local COVID-19 guidelines.
Click here to download the Discover Sailing Day guide, which is a step by step resource for how to set up, organise and run your Discover Sailing Day event.
Why should my club participate?
Holding a ‘Discover Sailing Day’ opens up your club and the sport to the local community to experience how great sailing is. It is also a great opportunity to showcase your club and the services you provide and benefits of becoming a member. For those clubs in lockdown planning out a Discover Sailing Day for when restrictions allow it can be a great way to boost getting people back at the club and enrolling in programs.
Marketing Resources - To help your club with preparations to get as many potential new members along we have developed a guide and Marketing resource kit that can be found via this link.
What Australian Sailing provides:
- A comprehensive guide to set up, organise and run your Discover Sailing Day.
- Social media post template - for clubs to use across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
- Print poster - that can be filled with your club’s specific details (handy for those who want to run it on a different day).
- Teardrop banner artwork - if your club would like to get them made to use around your club for Discover Sailing day and beyond.
- Assistance through central Australian Sailing staff and regional Club Services Officers.
- Promotion of your club and your Discover Sailing Day through the Australian Sailing website and communications channels.
- Discover Sailing promotional videos - promotional videos are available for clubs to download and use via their social channels, websites and in-venue screens to promote Discover Sailing and its sailing programs. View the generic 'Discover Sailing - Have a go!' video below:
If you require any assistance contact your local Club Services staff who can talk you through how your club can make the most of holding a Discover Sailing Day event this Spring / Summer.
