As we are now coming up to the eighth year of the website, approaching our 200,000th visitor and have entered a new decade, we are actively seeking your feedback and guidance on future development and support of the site.  To this end we are conducting a survey to ascertain whether we are meeting the current needs and the expectations of the wider Y community and what we can do in future to address any shortcomings. We would appreciate your comments both critical and complimentary, your response will remain entirely confidential and although an analysis of responses may be published they will not be attributed to any individual. Thank you in advance for your time completing this short survey.

New events have been added to the 2010 Calendar of Events, and your attention is brought to Karl Heinz Borches Sommertreff 2010 which is running again from 18 - 20 June.  This was a great event last year so book early to avoid disappointment this year.
