Hi Joe.
Just to say a big thank you for today. It was brilliant and exactly what I had hoped for. Marek is keen to learn to Eskimo roll so he is enthused!

I have to say I thought Joe was an excellent teacher and activity leader. He had organised a day to meet the quite exacting expecations that I had outlined to him ie exhilerating but based on the fact that we were novices. The day was very well resourced and was toatlly geared to us having a great experience. However, it was also evident from the start that safety was paramount and throughout the day we felt secure in the knowledge that Joe was an expert and was in total control of our wellbeing. Thanks for a brilliant day.
