Responses to 3rd Mail-Out Questionnaire: 1984
84 responses
Responses are, in many cases, open ended. Responses were tagged to name and address in the initial mail-out. They were not anonymous, but were seen as a tool for networking. The results were distributed with numbers next to each answer, indicating who had said yes, and at the back was a two-page list of names and addresses, linked by number. (The names and addresses are not reproduced here.)
