BAAC 2021 Survey - "Back Together"

This Survey

In this survey there are ten questions covering two topics:

Firstly, relating to our use of the Bedfont Club (in Hatton Road between Hatton Cross and Bedfont). We traditionally meet on a Wednesday evening from 6pm.

Secondly, a review of how we communicate with you through the digest and other means.

Click on "OK" and scroll down to see the next question and click on DONE at the bottom to complete the survey. Please give answers that represent your views, in preference to your guess of what the committee expects or wants. Most questions have a prompt for free text - please use it.
