Herefordshire School Dear Shooting Stars,
I am writing on behalf of the staff at Egerton Rothesay to express our gratitude and thanks for the fantastic and successful circus day held at our school. It was a fantastic experience for the children we watched them practise their communication, concentration, hand eye co-ordination whilst thoroughly enjoying themselves. The children all came away with new skills which I am sure they will continue to develop.
All the children were engaged irrespective of ability and this was due to our instructor Paul. He was friendly, engaging and inspired the children to master different circus skills. He was also very flexible and discussed the additional needs of our children before we began.
The children and teachers had a great day and we hope to re book in the future.
Thank you

Brown,
Leader in Charge 31st May 2012
West Midlands Brownies I would recommend Shooting Stars to help assess both the Brownie and Guide Circus Skills Badge. We had a joint Brownie and Guide event of 2 hours at the beginning of term and one again at the end of the erm to give the girls time to learn new skills and practice them with a small performance at the end. Our instructor Paul was funny, gave clear instructions to the girls and kept their interest for the whole two hours - they have asked me to buy some equipment so they can practice!.

Surrey Brownies We booked Shooting Stars for our Queen Diamond Jubilee celebrations - and the Brownies had the most amazing time. Jebb was brilliant - he had them enthralled, entertained and thoroughly engaged, but also had a keen eye to safety. We ran this as a joint event with Westcott Brownies, one of whom summed this up as the best Brownie Adventure ever. Id certainly use Shooting Stars again, and heartily recommend them to anyone wanting a circus skills workshop for their youth group..

Berkshire Corporate We were using the workshop to train some staff that deliver Circus Skills in small Youth Groups, to provide new skills and ideas for these sessions. Paul was very helpful in providing these ideas and suggestions surrounding activities for particular age groups and we would definitely consider using Shooting Stars for future workshops. The session was thoroughly enjoyable and I think we all took some new skills away with us!.

Hampshire Guides The girls all really enjoyed the evening - and I have heard nothing but good from the parents since saying just that - they all went home raving about the session and how much they enjoyed it. Well worth the money and a further workshop is definitely something we would consider and I will certainly recommend to other units in our area. A most enjoyable evening - and I even learnt how to juggle!!!! .

Kent Family Event As we had 300 members of the community attend I have no way of getting you feedback. What I will say as an organiser is that the instructor is outstanding and we ask for him each time. He did a brilliant job and was really good as part of a whole team of folk looking to entertain a very poor and challenging neighbourhood of visitors. Rebecca.

Dorset School Holiday Activities The instructor was excellent - prompt, polite and engaged very well with the young people. Very clear instructions and demonstrations and excellent ongoing support. Range and quality of equipment was also good, though I was disappointed that there was no tightrope and no poi, as last year these were both extremely popular. .

One of the young people visiting our playscheme, for children and young people with special needs, said it was the first time he had achieved! whilst the Instructor helped him to spin four plates at once!
The children loved the day... dressing up too with the hats and waistcoats was a lovely touch which added to the atmosphere..
