Comments and Testimonials from 2007/2008/2009
"Dear Martin,
Very many thanks indeed for being so kind as to giving us the opportunity of having
a VIP table in your restaurant marquee. I must say we could not have enjoyed it more. A
lovely marquee and very good views over the arena and a most pleasant and helpful
staff. I think it is a brilliant idea and so pleased that it has taken on so well."
Councillor Lieutenant Colonel Michael Oliver, North Dorset District Council
"After several years involvement with the New Forest Show, we felt our customers
would enjoy a change and decided to invest in a VIP package at the Great
Dorset Steam Fair. Our decision was fully vindicated in what was a unmitigated success.
Customer comments to my colleagues and I were unanimous in their praise. Our customer
base is almost entirely tradesmen, so many of the stands and exhibitors were of
particular interest. The space afforded to visitors is vast and this allowed for
a very leisurely day with interest for all. The catering and hospitality extended
was exceptional and comparable with anything we have received elsewhere and provided
real value for money. If there was anything wrong, it was the fact that we organised
our pick up coaches to collect us too early as a large number of our guests would
have preferred to stay into the evening and enjoy the fun of the fair late into
the night. On behalf of our customers and staff alike many thanks for a most memorable
day."

"On Saturday 1st September my husband's firm enjoyed a brilliant day at the
Steam Fair using your VIP package. The facilities provided were
excellent and well worth the money."

both in the quality and quantity."
