QUESTIONNAIRE A previous Newsletter contained a questionaire that we asked all members to complete, seeking views on how we can best tailor our activities to match members preferences. Thank you for all those who did so - we are always willing to receive updates to this or comments on any of the topics covered. If you can't find your printed form one is available on the Documents page for you to use as you wish, along with tips on completing PDF forms.
