The survey question issue has been addressed so please feel free to give us your views. Its very important for me as I want to build the BCSS based on what the members want rather than what an aging committee think you want. Kind regards Ian I answered the survey before Q7 was fixed.

As far as I could tell, just one quote was from an actual journal and the others had nothing whatsoever to do with it. Cheers Al That sounds about right for the BBC.
