Metropolitan Bowls Feedback

Please note that MBA is seeking feedback from clubs NOT individuals. All feedback collected will be collated and forwarded to MBA in March. I am aware that other clubs have printed and circulated the MBA questions whereas we have put them into a Google form to streamline collation of written responses.

Flexibility in providing a range of avenues for those members interested in giving feedback has been considered and the following offered.

• A meeting to discuss and share thoughts and opinions will be held on Friday March 1 prior to Happy Hour.
• A questionnaire accessible using the link provided: https://forms.gle/8GHnmEcSzNeXtDmr6
• Talking to members of the committee prior to the March 4 committee meeting so they can bring feedback to the meeting.
