(1) 58 members completed the survey – thankyou.

(2) The overall response is very positive with little evidence of dissatisfaction about the Society.

(3) We have quite a few members who are interested in joining the Committee or assisting in other ways.

(4) In response to a number of questions, some members had a particular view and others had the opposite view. In a Society such as ours we can’t please everyone all of the time!

(5) Themes on which we can consider taking action action are;

                       – try to vary the months in which we use the regular locations – we can aim to do this for 2026 as 2025 is already planned.

                       – amend and publish our dress code to members. Dress code to be smart casual, jackets optional, but no jeans or trainers.

                       – consider a tapas event in lieu of a full meal – we will seek to implement this for at least one event in 2025 and consider again for 2026.

                       – consider reducing the number of starters, and upgrade the main course offer – again we will trial this in 2025 and consider further for 2026.

                       – introduce some more expensive wines and occasionally offer more whites/rosados – we will do this at some events in 2025.

                       – all members should be on the mailing list, not just one from a couple. It is the members’ responsibility to ensure that the membership secretary has their email address, they will then receive communications.
