Application to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation

The Sidmouth Watersports Hub (The Hub) (previously The Port Royal Club) has since 1970 when it was formed been a Trust with 4 trustees appointed by the Angling and Sailing Clubs. We are In this model the Hub does not have limited financial liability and the risk and accountability lies with the Trustees.

We are currently in a position where we only have two remaining trustees, both of whom wish to stand down. It is therefore an opportune time to consider what would be the most appropriate financial structure moving forward. Having considered all available options we are recommending the option used by many sports clubs including others in Sidmouth to apply to become a charitable incorporated organisation.

There will be a briefing and Q&A session at The Hub at 8pm on the evening of Wednesday 11th December 2024. If you would like for information before then PM me and I will let you have a briefing document.

Stephen Smith

Secretary to the Sidmouth Watersports Hub.
