Kent Cubs The cubs ( and leaders) had a great evening learning new skills. The instructor was engaging and took the time with all the cubs to ensure they got the most out of the session. Highly recommended.

ADC Cubs Colchester North District. 16th January 2024
Essex Cubs This is the second time we have had Shooting Stars as the main entertainment for our district Christmas party, and again we were not disappointed, our instructor Paul worked with us and fitted in with our schedule excellently. The cubs all had a brilliant time as did several of the leaders. Paul was friendly but firm with the children when needed the sessions were all well run with no issues.
I would have no hesitation in booking him again and highly recommend Shooting stars to anyone who is looking for an entertainer..

Pauline,
Assistant Group Lead Volunteer 11th December 2023
City of Dundee Beavers, Cubs, Scouts We had two sessions with mixed ages. Allen was engaging and encouraging. The kids loved him showing off his skills. When they attempted the various skills they soon realised that it was harder than it looked. The older kids took to juggling and the younger kids enjoyed the devil sticks and plate spinning. It was good to see the children’s determination to learn something new. Allen was great helping the kids who were struggling and it was lovely to see their faces light up when Allen helped them catch the Diablo.
Thanks you Allen..

Kent Brownies Joe came to visit our Brownie Pack and the girls had an amazing time. He explained how to use everything at the start and then they could use which ever equipment they wanted. He has loads of different things for them to play with - including 3 unicycles! He was very patient with them and really good at explaining. Would definitely recommend. The booking process and communication was all very good too..

Guide leader 2nd October 2023
North Yorkshire Guides Dave arrived well on time on Sunday morning. Not an easy brief to keep the attention of 21 Guides on a Sunday morning at Guide camp but he did very well and the 3 hour session flew past. All the Guides really enjoyed the different activities - balancing feathers, juggling, unicycles, stilts, spinning plates. Dave managed to inspire all the Guides including those who initially had a tendency to ‘give up’ if they couldn’t do something. He had great hints & tips, good stories and kept the tension of all the Guides throughout - no mean feat! Many thanks 😁.

Chair of Charity 3rd August 2023
Hampshire Fete / Carnival We booked Shooting Stars for our summer fete on a recommendation and we could not have been more impressed. Fred was on time (actually a little early) and completely self sufficient (a massive bonus given all the last minute mayhem taking place). He adjusted what he could do given the awful weather conditions, moving inside and back outside the building throughout the day to ensure all those attending got the absolute best experience they could. The feedback from attendees was brilliant, they all loved every second they spent with Fred, some having to be pulled away to see the other activities. We could not recommend shooting stars (and Fred) more and will definitely be booking them for future events..
