Brown Owl! 11th July 2023
Cardiff (Caerdydd) Brownies, Rainbows Jebb was fantastic with the Brownies and Rainbows. His interaction was second to none and he was patient with the girls, praising them when they got it right and helping them to do so when they were having difficulty. He has a great sense of humour too. I've had marvellous feedback from the parents and the leaders had a blast too. We went to Wetherspoons after so he could have something to eat and had a great chat with him about Juggling conventions..

Wiltshire Brownies, Guides, Rainbows We booked your company for a joint unit Girl Guiding event with girls ranging from 4 to 14. Fred was brilliant with them all, splitting them into two groups one with the younger ones and the other the older girls. All enjoyed having a go at the circus skills demonstrated and were happy to try everything. Fred's enthusiasm was a joy to see and the delight on the girls faces was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you so much, we will be sharing your details with other units in our area and hope to book you again in the future..

Committee Member for The Lyminge Association 22nd May 2023
Kent Corporate Having your instructor at the event was extremely good and he appeared to be kept busy for the whole time he was present. Our only comment was that he was so popular that he could have done with having a second instructor. I believe that the first year you came to us we did have two instructors. We do not do these Fun Days very often, but would certainly be calling upon you again when we have another. [We did not make any charge for the children [and adults] who wanted to have a go as this was intended as something FOR the village, not as a money making event for the village Association]
Thank you.
Best wishes.
