Member Survey

U3A Roseland and District

Member Survey

At the recent Special General Meeting, members discussed how we might increase the number of individuals who attend monthly general meetings as well as the interest groups they belong to. Monthly meetings provide an opportunity for all members to socialise, meet the committee and give their thoughts on how they would like our U3A to develop, so a healthy attendance would have benefits for all.

One of the suggestions was that holding all the meetings at Portscatho might make it difficult for some members to attend. The day of week and time of day may also be issues. It was proposed that we invite everyone to give feedback in the form of a short survey so that the committee can make properly informed decisions on possible future changes.

Please take a few minutes to complete the form below before 28th February 2010. The password required is that notified in the notification with the February newsletter.

1.	Would offering alternative venues/day of week/time of day make you more likely to attend monthly meetings, even occasionally? (If No, your reason in the General Comments section at the end would be helpful - please continue from Item 6)	Yes No
2.	Which of these hall locations would influence your decision to attend monthly meetings? (Please number in order of your preferences, 1 being your first choice. Please mark any you could not reach with an ‘X’ and write in any preferred location not listed in ‘Other’)	Tregony Probus Veryan Portscatho St Ewe St Mawes Other (as below)
3.	Which day of the week would you prefer for monthly meetings? (Leave as 'Any' if no preference)
4.	Please indicate whether morning or afternoon is more convenient for you (Leave as 'Either' if no preference)
5.	What method of transport would you use to attend monthly meetings?
6.	Which interest group(s) (if any) do you attend regularly or periodically?
7.	If you have any suggestions for additional interest groups, or would like to attend an existing group if it was held at a more convenient location, please let us know below.
8.	From 1^st April 2010 the annual capitation fee payable to the Third Age Trust will increase by £1 p.a. and our membership subscription will also increase to £16 per person to reflect this. However, some members have expressed concern that only around 66% of current costs are covered by subscriptions, with the balance from additional fundraising. Although our fundraising has been successful, we could significantly reduce our reliance if annual subscriptions were increased to a higher level. Would you be in favour of increasing subscriptions to £18 p.a. in order to reduce the dependence on fundraising activities?	Yes No
9.	General comments - any additional feedback you would like to provide about the U3A.
