Progress Meeting Questionnaire

Introduction

Thank you for engaging and filling our this questionnaire.

Responses are anonymous, estimated time to compete 10 minutes.

It is advised that you complete this on your desktop computer rather than mobile but either format will work.

We now have 20 members in the club and it's run for the members, by the members so your opinions matter.  This questionnaire aims to gather your feedback ahead of the October progress meeting, where we discuss the running of the club.

We now have a new website and have also adopted a new mailing system, so there will be a few questions about this here, along with other questions around the club format and operation.

With significantly more functionality than the old website, we hope it now offers a more functional, professional and branded experience for users, both members and guests. 

We would welcome your feedback and have constructed this questionnaire to collect your views.
