BBC SURVEY
The British Bodyboard Club is attempting to undertake the largest survey of the UK bodyboarding public ever made. With bodyboarding increasing in popularity we want to understand your opinions, spending habits and perspectives on our sport; so that we can use that information to inform the decisions we make and the companies we target for support.
All responses will be held in the strictest confidence and they can be anonymous if you wish. However, we would ask that you complete the survey as fully as possible. All data held is covered by the BBC’s data protection policy. No information will be disclosed to 3rd parties outside of the BBC/BSA. Summary results may be published in ThreeSixty magazine but no individual responses will be credited.
You can request an electronic copy from rich@britishbodyboardclub.co.uk or log on to www.britishbodyboardclub.co.uk to download it.
