96 Members Share Their Views

Posted Tue, Jun 22, 2010

The membership survey results are in, with 96 people participating. Thanks for taking your time! If "average" is defined as more than 50% of all respondents, here's what we heard... (Click Read More to see the full summary).

The average survey respondents are 35-64 years old, and have been orienteering more than four years, after finding out about orienteering by word-of-mouth or a class. Now they participate more than 8 times/year for the physical and mental challenge, and have joined COC because of the discounts and a desire to support the club. They read the Yahoo newsgroup frequently, and like the new website a lot, but don’t read the newsletter very often and aren’t fond of the PDF format for reading news.

Girls' JV - Sarah Rogers (2), Anne Wilkinson (4). Intermediate Boys':  Ondrej Cernan (4).
