Testimonials

Just a short note to thank you for arranging the day for us last Tuesday. Thanks especially to Tony, the drivers and all those who helped to make the day a memorable one. Father-in-law (the birthday boy) had a really great time as did we all. We couldn't have been looked after any better. Many thanks once again.

Chris Wallis

I feel I have to put pen to paper to reiterate my thanks for last Saturday's Birthday Treat. The whole day went like an exceedingly pleasant dream for me and my friends appreciated all that was laid on for us.

Every one of your staff and volunteers were wonderfully helpful and friendly. .. Again, thank you and the "Friendly line" for a truely memorable day.

Robert Knight

Thank you so much for arranging the splendid birthday treat for my husband yesterday. We both had a wonderful time, and were treated like royalty. Could you please pass on our very sincere thanks to Tony Edwards, for his warm hospitality and for sharing so much interesting information as we went round the museum and the workshops, to the driver and fireman on No.1 Talyllyn, who gave my husband such an unforgetable treat, and to Philip and Chris in the guard's van, who were great company and kept me entertained on the journey.

We are most greatful to everyone concerned for giving us a very special day.
