Southern Ceramic Group Membership Survey

Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.

- Step 1 of 7

Welcome to our first ever online survey of members and their interests. We have a new, refreshed, committee in place, and we are looking for your thoughts about what you find most valuable about our community, and how you might like us to develop, things that we might do, etc.

We very much welcome your responses to this survey. We very much hope that you will all engage and contribute. The more people that respond, the better will be our understanding and insights into what you would like as a group. We are keen to be inclusive - if this on-line form does not work for you, for whatever reason, then please contact us and we can arrange for you to receive it in another format for ease of completion.

Would you be prepared to pay your membership renewal via an on-line card payments system? *

Yes, I would be happy to pay via debit/credit card on-line
No, I would not be happy to pay on-line.

We are proposing to move to a secure on-line membership system, with the ability to pay membership fees using a secure payment mechanism, by credit or debit cards. This will greatly reduce the administrative effort and burden for our annual membership renewals.
