Greetings again from the Travelling Ladies Club!
In this newsletter we have included a questionnaire to give you the opportunity to express your travel interests and also to make suggestions and comments on how we can improve the TLC meetings and other arrangements. We request this feedback annually as we believe this process is a very important part of the TLC remaining successful.
As the majority of members have joined the club as independent individuals, we value your opinions as such. Please take the time to complete the attached form because your vision for the future of the TLC is essential for the continued success of the club. We look forward to receiving your ideas and comments!
Kind regards,
