What They Say…

"I loved some of the photographs, especially the one of Trent Bridge, because they were unusual and so sharp."
Contributor, Shared Experience Advisory Group
"Makes me feel this is a really pukka organisation. (By the way I never know what your icon is supposed to be - always makes me think of a bald man whose trousers have somehow failed to connect with the buttons holding them up. Still it always gives me a mystery to ponder on!)"

"First thing though - I found the print a bit small and couldn't be bothered to try to find out how to make it bigger - is it possible to put a note about this right at the beginning or will it be too off-putting ie suggests target audience is older people with bad eyesight!?"

"I had a look at these web pages and tried some of the links and as far as I could see they looked good and covered quite a range of activities. I even found something I might myself be interested in - family history at the central library in Nottingham, though it would involve travelling and might be for good weather only."
