GALMARLEY MEMBER SURVEY

In this survey no fields are mandatory.  If there's anything you're unhappy to disclose just skip it.

This survey is for the purpose of establishing what type of gold services there is a real demand for.  We can only improve the accessibility of gold related investment, and reduce the cost, if we can persuade people like you to tell us what you are looking for.  Without that information we cannot expect commercial enterprises to shoot in the dark.  Your contribution is very important

Important note on confidentiality

No questions on this questionnaire are mandatory.  We do not need to be able to identify you for your comments and feedback to be useful. Your input can be anonymous but we particularly like to link it to your email address so we can be more appropriate in information we may subsequently send you, which will be exclusively on the subject of gold. This is the only use to which your email address will be put.

It is our policy not to confirm your email address, which means any information you provide us with is not attributable to you personally by us or any authorities. Anyone could have entered it from anywhere! Also you can unsubscribe from membership at any time.

Obviously if you choose not to give us your name and address we cannot send you a cheque should you win one!
