What People Say About Us
We had a fantastic time and managed to navigate a fair bit of the Lea and Stort Rivers and found them to be beautiful. The Children gained so much from the trip and are still talking about their experiences, which is making the staff very envious of the time we had. The children managed to play football and cricket in some lovely areas and even helped to open some locks, which wore them out considerably! They had great fun feeding the swans at Ware and were amazed at the abundance of wildlife along the way.
Joseph Clarke School for the Visually Impaired
Thank you for a great weekend. It was a wonderful chance for us to experience life on a barge and it is something that Graham and I would never have dreamed of doing as we both have our problems with physical disability and visual impairment.
Sue & Graham Jones
THANK YOU to all of you for making our weekend on the river so enjoyable. The students gained great benefit from meeting a variety of new people. Special thanks to Helen, Ken, Ray, Tom, Dave and Chris; we realise how precious their weekend is and I cannot begin to tell you how much the staff appreciated their support.
St Nicholas School
Thank you, and all those who gave up their time to Skipper Dawn Treader for us during Mersea Island Festival this year. Those who went came back so pleased that they had been involved in steering etc. They really did have a good time.
Mersea Island Festival Trust
