As your new Board Member for Membership, I am working to establish a new Members Forum to improve communication, share ideas, and support you as a member of the GBA more effectively. To ensure this Forum meets the needs of our members, I need your input. 

I therefore ask that you take a few minutes to complete our Members Forum survey. Your feedback will help me design a Forum that truly reflects the interests of our community and provides value to you and your fellow members. Your participation is essential in helping us create a Forum that enhances collaboration and fosters a strong, connected bowling community in Gloucestershire.
