    I found it very rewarding. Glenn was an excellent teacher. He outlined the basics in easily understandable language including the principles behind them. He was attentive to group and individual needs. It has provided a foundation on which I can build. We were very fortunate with the weather.

    Night was fantastic, but I do think there should have been a 15 minute toilet and grab something to eat. A few people came straight from work and we were hungry!

    It was an excellent evening with a knowledgeable and engaged tutor. The group was small enough (max 10) to allow everyone to get individual attention. The shots I took were vastly superior to anything I've ever managed before.

    Great evening. Tutor Glen was very helpful, and clearly explained things, but let you do it yourself, so was fun. You felt like you achieved something, rather than blindly following an instruction, and not knowing why. So at end of night , realised I have learnt some new techniques and are keen to try them again.

    I would just like to say that the night was really great and Scott was really good with all the students. We all had different levels of experience but that didn't bother him. All our one on ones were very informtative and I learnt more on the night than I did in a previous 3 week course. I would highly recommend it and I'm looking forward to many more.
