Club Survey

Our Club Survey for Seniors was run last week. In2Cricket / Kanga, Junior Girls and Boys will open shortly.

The Survey only takes a couple of minutes to complete, is anonymous and your input will used to change what needs changing and to build on what we do well. We will be reviewing the consolidated responses at our next Executive Meeting and the results will then be shared.

When you get the link it would be great if you can complete the Survey and help us to create an even better Club.
