Thank you

It is always nice to receive feedback from visitors to the museum and people on the walking tours via the guest book or by email.This is an email sent to us after the public tour on April 17th.

I booked the Dads Army Guided Tour as a gift to my Partner for Valentines Day this year, and this weekend, finally, our "Dads Army Weekend" was here - a stay at The Bell, and the tour on Sunday (17th).

I am writing to you as I would be so grateful if you could pass on our thanks to all your volunteers who make the tour such a lovely experience, we enjoyed the whole occasion so very much.  Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and interesting, they took care of us and no question was too much trouble at all - you can tell that they really care about what they are doing.

I am 36, and my partner is 33, we grew up watching Dads Army with our own Dads, and we watch every Saturday now, this weekend (especially with the stay at The Bell too) is one of the nicest experiences we have had, we both agreed.

Please keep up the good work, don't let people forget the history of your lovely town. 

All the very best.
