Hi

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the event today -very well organised and very friendly staff and volunteers. I was met by a smile first thing this morning and the last person I saw as I drove out also gave a friendly wave. Small things, cost nothing but make a difference!!

I'll definitely be recommending it to others for next year!
