WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT WHALEFEST 2011“What an amazing success that was, Ian - due to your hardwork, and Dylan's. Thanks for making it such a grand experience. Putting all those like minds together was inspired. It will have created whole new webs of influence and ideas... I think it was an important occasion, and I look forward to it being even bigger and better (if that's possible) next year.” Mark Brownlow, series producer BBC Ocean Giants, and Clash of the Titans speaker
“Just a short email to thank you for the brilliant event WhaleFest. I attended both days with my son and we both had a very good time .The number and topics of the talks and workshops were very good and informative, At times I wished I could have split myself in half to attend two things at once. The stalls also were very good and gave me lots of ideas for suitable places to go whale watching both near and far. Thank you again to all your staff for organising such I wonderful event and I cannot wait for next year s event. I also want to be off now to go whale spotting to some of the wonderful locations. Thank you. Jane Baldwin, member of the public Our amazement at the level of interest was only outdone by our admiration for the amount of work that you all had put in before the event and the slick organisation on the day. Not to put too fine a point on it, the WhaleFest volunteers were ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! I’m welling up! Upwards and onwards!
