18/7/2007 Survey

This year, as you'll be aware, we've been looking at ways to change how the club operates, in particular how weekend and minibus day trips are run. As one way to decide how to move forward we've come up with a couple of surveys to gauge opinion. Please do take time to complete them - it is *your* club and the committee wants to find out what you think. The more people who respond the more useful the surveys will be!

The main survey (club organisation, weekend trips and minibus day trips): http://www.ouwc.org/survey/survey_trips_TT07.html
There's an additional survey regarding Local Walks at: http://www.ouwc.org/survey/survey_local_walks_TT07.html

Important Notes:
* Deadline is Sunday 12th August.
* Please complete the main survey. Complete the local walk survey as well if you're interested in local walks.
* The submissions will be used by the committee to help decide on the future direction of the club and address issues that have been identified.
Submissions will not be personally identifiable - if you want a response to any comments please include your email address in a comment box.
* Non-members and former members are very welcome to complete the survey(s), but please note that you are not a member/a former member in question one.
* Contact Nicolas (webmaster(at)ouwc.org) if you have any technical problems with/questions about the surveys. Please get in touch with me (president(at)ouwc.org) if you have any other questions.
