Look out for a special edition of eNews, which should be out later today. It contains an important message from BCSS Chairman Ian Thwaites inviting you to participate in an online survey to help determine the future shape and direction of the Society.
We've also made some changes to the distribution process, including registering a new email address with a different domain name with MailChimp, to hopefully rectify the issue of some ISPs, mail clients and malware programs classifying eNews as spam. Please let us know if you still have problems.

You are right it isn’t clear. The idea is to choose the 4 most important elements for you and to place them in order. I have emailed the young lady who set the question to ask her to explain the rationale to people In the question. The society does lots of great things but what are the top 4 for you.
I’m hoping it will be an interesting return.
I didn’t have a chance to play with it as I have just returned from holiday and sufferering a bit with jet lag. Trying to stay awake till this evening.
Kind regards
Ian

Re: eNews Special Edition
We've just become aware of the problem with question 7 and are taking steps to try to get the survey fixed (which was not created by the eNews team).

Re: eNews Special Edition
I encountered the same problem so my answers to Q7 may as well be ignored which is a shame as it makes the survey in part pointless which is poignant as so much emphasis was put on the professional team running and interpreting the survey.
Regards Keith.

Re: eNews Special Edition
Arrived in my in box without any problem this time Graham, thanks! Haven't had the chance to read it yet, but I think I will hold back on the survey until I know the problem has been fixed.

Re: eNews Special Edition
I have received mine and completed it without a problem. We joined in October and I was previously missed off the list. My husband is an associate / additional member or whatever the term is, he doesn't receive the newsletter. Should he be able to participate in the survey? As it stands he can't.

Having trained Office 365 to accept the newsletters from the previous server, it has now junked the latest one again!
