Pinewood Derby Feedback Survey

This is a "feedback survey" with respect to South Fulton District Pinewood Derby Daze held at the Woodward Middle School Cafeteria/Gym. The purpose of this Survey is to take all ideas and feedback from this event in order to create a better event next year: to note what worked that we want to repeat, what could be improved upon, and to initiate volunteer engagement for future Derbies.

A lot of what folks liked about this year's Derby came directly from feedback after last year's Survey.

Question Title

Question Title

6. In what role below did you volunteer in advance to help so that this Derby could come off well for the Scouts? (Check all that apply)

Question Title

7. Would you be willing to help volunteer for a District Pinewood Derby Daze event next year? We ask because an event like this just can't happen without advance, committed, communicating volunteers. This is not an official commitment, we're just exploring interest for next year since some volunteers will rotate on.

Question Title

8. In 2007 and 2008, the Derby was held in the old Padgett Gym at Woodward, a larger facility with bleachers, but that gym was torn down in 2009. Since then the Derby has been in the Middle School Cafeteria/Gym. It is possible that future Derbies might return to a bleacher-sized gym, though that requires much more Advance (and day of) Volunteering because of the larger Facility and the need to coordinate with other uses of the Gym Facility. And downsides of a larger facility at Woodward would be that it is harder to find people or your race in a multi-gym facility, and scheduling might be difficult.

So, for next year's Derby, should we:
