Cray Valley RS “2024 – Year of CW”
Members’ Survey

This survey is open to all members of Cray Valley Radio Society. Every club member who takes part in the survey will have a chance to win one year of free club membership. The winning participant, who will be selected at random, will be announced at the AGM on 18th April. We encourage all Cray Valley RS members to complete this survey, even those who have no interest whatsoever in Morse Code, as it will help us build a picture of the current level of interest within the club.

All individual survey submissions will be kept confidential, and personal identifying information (name, callsign) will be removed from the collected data as soon as the prize-draw winner is selected, leaving only anonymised data.
