2014 CLUB SURVEY – OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUR CLUB! During the month of June you will be sent an email link to a Club Survey which will be your opportunity to let us know how your club is going, what improvements you want to see happen, and how Activation can support you along your journey. Please spend some time going through the survey - as this is an opportunity for you as a club to share information, let us know the great work you are doing, and what we can do to help you achieve that little bit extra! In 2013, over 50% of Clubs in Upper Hutt completed the survey – Let’s beat that! For further information contact: Ellie Davidson |Activation |04 527 2148
