RYA Cymru Wales 2016 Strategic Review Survey

Welcome. RYA Cymru Wales is embarking on a root and branch strategic review that will result in a new set of strategic objectives for the next four years. We want to continue to promote safe, successful and rewarding boating in Wales. This is your opportunity to help us do so.

This survey should only take five minutes to complete and will be of great value to us. I thank you in advance for your help.
