Just wanted to send a quick note to say a huge THANK YOU. Sam had a fantastic time at the Viking day, hope there wasn’t too many bruises. Give him a sword and he would have been in his element, but I had to feel sorry for the Vikings, they must have been very brave! Thanks to you and the team of Vikings for giving the kids a day to remember. We received the comic from the day as well, Sam was really chuffed, it was a lovely thought. We are now looking forward to the family day later this month, thank you so much for the time and thought that you and your team have put into these activities for the children, it is very much appreciated.
