It only takes 5 to 10 minutes to fill out and we would really appreciate any and all thoughts you have. In doing so, hopefully, you will get more of what you want out of the club. You may have received an email about the survey already but if not, you can follow a link to it by clicking on the button below. The survey will be closing around the 5th of September.
