Member Survey Summer 2024

During the summer of 2024 Neil Schofield, on behalf of the Planning Group, authored and circulated a questionnaire to all choir members. The questionnaire asked members particularly about membership fees, repertory, concert frequency, fund-raising and  recruitment plus any other suggestions. A summary of the responses to the survey in PDF format is available to view and download: Survey Summary.
