Reader Survey 2012

Our last reader survey was conducted in 2005. It was carried out at a more searching level than our previous questionnaires and its findings were extremely pertinent and useful. Although there were individual criticisms and suggestions, the general impression of satisfaction was heartening. Some of those suggestions from 2005 have been taken up and implemented. Our website, then the cause of some dissatisfaction, is now infinitely better designed and more informative, especially when supplemented with our monthly Newsletter.
