Firstly, Thank You to all those people that took part in the Survey, the information you have provided will be used in a report of the event, and used to help make improvements for 2010.
It is important to note, that there were about 2300 people at Nationals, and 334 responses to the survey, so the results below only represent 13% of the people in attendance. This means the results are in no way, an accurate picture of the event, but they do allow us to get a broad idea of where things are at, and which issues need to be addressed
