A few letters of thanks.
Bullers Wood School, Bromley Kent. 210 Girls for a Medieval day.
"Thank you so much organizing such an excellent day. Our students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and their good behaviour is a reflection on how engaging they found your activities and approach. I lost count of how many students were disappointed when i said we had to leave just after 2pm - not a sentiment we're used to hearing.
Please thank your whole team for making it such a memorable day for all and for making it all run so smoothly."
Sara Northey.
Croydon Contacts.
"It was lovely to see you and your team again. Yet another fantastic day for our young people! Most of our youngsters have ADHD, learning difficulties or are on the Autistic Spectrum, they loved every minute of the day, in fact their laughter could be heard quite away off!! A lay person wouldn't believe our children (and young adults!) with all their concentration difficulties could be so captivated for a whole day!
Thanks from all of us again."
Anita Davison.
Downlands Countryside Management Project.
"I would like to thank you for coming to the Countryside day at Banstead again this year which has been the biggest so far. We have no accurate attendance figures but Guestimate at over 10,000.
What an excellent attraction and display again.
Many thanks and hope to see you again next year."
