2023 Year-end Membership Survey

It’s your chance to make a difference for next season. Our fantastic team of volunteers honestly give immense effort to steer the club in the right direction. We are always listening, but know that improvements can always be made.  Can you provide some completely honest and anonymous feedback (hopefully constructive!). Just 10 little ‘ole questions, that’s it. 

It’s Anonymous—Cuz we know that sometimes honesty may only come anonymously. 

What do we do with the results?

We present the overall highlights at our AGM (which takes place on Thursday November 23, 2023). Then over the winter months we work hard to factor in your feedback when planning and organizing next year’s grooviness.

We just can’t hold Helmut back—he’s got three rides posted for the week. Two gravel rides and mountain biking on Saturday. Plus, on Tuesday night we have our Halloween Hike.  Wear a spooky costume if you wish and throw some treats in your pockets. We can hand goodies to kids when we see them.  We’ll stick to hiking on roads & sidewalks this week, no off-roading.  Wouldn’t want to miss the trick or treaters. Likely we’ll head into an establishment afterward for a drink of some sort.
