A Survey for the Welsh Baccalaureate
CaiJDurbin - 29-9-2005 at 18:09

I'm a Penglias student in Aberystwyth and, as you may be aware, we have to complete the welsh baccalaureate in addition to our A-levels. Our first section is entitled "Wales, Europe and the World" and we have to conduct research into a topic that affects our local area. Our chosen topic is Water Sprts in the Aberystwyth Area. As part of this research we would like to ask a questionnaire about the water sports people do and what people opinions are of water sports in the area. We will be doing the survey in the Aberystwyth town centre at some point, but we're posting it here aswell so we can get more results.

Heres the survey, please reply with your results.

Thanks in advance!

2. Do you participate in water sports in the Aberystwyth area?
