Surrey Beavers, Cubs, Scouts Adaptable and flexible. The afternoon worked really well. Lots of Beavers, Cubs and Scouts tried a range of skills during the afternoon. This is not the first time we have used 'Shooting Stars' and I'm sure it won't be the Last..

Lindsey,
Division Rainbow Advisor 30th May 2022
Somerset Brownies, Guides, Rainbows We held a Division Fun Day in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Steve provided the Circus Skills workshop in our 'Mayhem' Zone. We had Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers attend the day.
All Leaders expressed, unprompted, how much their girls had enjoyed the sessions which were well explained and differentiated for their age group. I asked in advance if 'Poi' could be taught as part of our overarching Commonwealth theme - and this was done brilliantly.
Most importantly, the girls themselves expressed how much fun they had had.
Thank you Steve - you were great!.

Kent Brownies Thoroughly enjoyed the session - some of the girls were nervous at first but with the help and encouragement of Jebb, they tried everything and had a fantastic time. They did not want the evening to end. I also had so many lovely comments from the parents saying how their daughters could not stop talking about the evening..

Yorkshire, East Riding Brownies, Guides, Rainbows We would just like to say a huge thank you to Steve and Paul for todays workshops. The girls have had the best time ever and the whole experience for us all has been just wonderful. Its our first big thing together since covid struck and we all loved this experience. We had girls from age 5-14 attending so quite an age difference to keep engaged all at once but it was done with ease. They were both brilliant at explaining and describing and showing the girls how to do the activities. A massive shout out from us all at Tadcaster Girlguiding.

Greater London Parties A wonderful party for Tom and his friends. Paul has the children in the palms of his hands and managed to get them to do some pretty impressive skills in the 1h30 he lead them. Such fun and diverse activities for them to get stuck in. And Paul is himself super talented and clearly an expert at what he does, both in terms of circus skills and also in managing the children. We were so pleased with our choice, very special, original and lovely to feel we are supporting such a nice company..

The children and families enjoyed his tuition, humour and were very impressed by his skills, as Chelmsford library staff were too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any library authority or private individuals..

Cub Scout Leader 16th March 2022
Greater London Cubs The workshop was a fantastic and excellently delivered all-round introduction to a selection of circus skills for the cub scouts in the time we had available. I thought the level of instruction was superb for this age group with an emphasis on having a go at everything on hand. The way the workshop was delivered in two parts was genius. A longer session on diablo and then 'free-time' for trying out other fun activities held the interest and fun throughout the entire session. The cubs had an amazing evening and I only wish we had extended the evening for more time. Highly recommended and thoroughly enjoyable for all. Thank you!.
