Thongsbridge Tennis & Fitness Tennis & Fitness Members Survey Spirul, an independent research company, has been asked to undertake a survey of Tennis and Fitness Members by the Directors of Thongsbridge Tennis and Fitness as part of a complete strategic review of the club. We are conducting a survey to find out more about members, when and for what purpose they use the club, what members think priorities for the club should be and how to make the club better for the future. We would be very grateful if you could help us by completing this short questionnaire and returning it in the reply-paid envelope as soon as possible. This survey will take about 10 minutes to complete and everything you say will be treated in confidence. Everyone who returns a completed questionnaire will be entered into a PRIZE DRAW to win 50% off next membership renewal for Adults or a shirt and shorts/skirt for Juniors and Intermediates. If you are under 16, you must ask a parent or carer to sign, and complete their details at the end of the questionnaire. We cannot accept prize draw entries without a signature.
