Results – Question 9
Question: Generally, in the past, we have tried to provide events ‘free of charge’ to members – Often subsidised by the East Midlands Packaging Society. In Future, is this something that you would want us to continue with? Or would you rather we sought better quality speakers, visits, venues or events – but maybe at a cost to members?

Some free - some charge
You could find better quality speakers, visits, venues or events but it doesn't have to be too expensive!! That's how you will attract people more! Free OR a very Small charge!

Results – Question 15
Question: How could we better encourage you to attend an event? Cont…
My lack of attendance isn’t really quality of speakers (several events have sounded reallyinteresting) or location (though Birmingham is always better than Nottingham) just fitting it in with a job that is primarily based overseas.
Give a clear and detailed agenda so that I can get buy in from my company
Of specific interest to me and convenient to terms of work commitments
Fully committed to be involved to help expand the East Midlands Branch
Get outside of packaging – think about customers, consumers, other industries
Drinks companies –breweries, distillers, wineries etc.
I am in contract packing but live 6 days a week in Southport, North West UK.
Organise visits to interesting venues and write better more interesting adverts for them
Directly relevant to the business I work in would be print and conversion plus packaging end users
