Comments:
"I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for your involvement in the Christmas Light Switch On.
The event was deemed a huge success. As you will be aware, the Ice Skating attracted a larger than expected amount of participants and spectators, considering the day was not a school holiday. A measure of the skating's success is that the recent Town Centre forum, comment was made that the Ice Skating was not on for long enough!"

"The Ice Skating was a hit with our students. It was well organised by professional staff who made the day run smoothly and safely.
Our students really enjoyed the opportunity to skate and even our Health and safety officer was happy with the arrangements.
We wanted something different to offer our students and they couldn't believe it when we gave them Ice Skating in the gym. They had a great time."

"The staff were very co-operative and well organised, they kept the children amused with various skating activities and games making learning fun. There were a few bruised egos (as well as backsides!!!) But the general Comments were brill and great.
It is very reassuring for me to know that the children are in capable hands, also that you use personnel with first aid training.
My thanks to all concerned, keep up the good work. I look forward to working with you on future programmes."
