Testimonials

We just want to say an enormous thank you for Friday night. So many people have said how funny and how good you were. Not only that, we really appreciated how willing you were to meet people and be photographed (especially with WG himself!!) As one person said to me "he made you feel like he was a real part of the event and not just the speaker" I shall remember the event for a long while.
