| Thinktank Birmingham science museum | Excellent day. Very attentive and professional staff. Well planned and executed workshops and smashing opportunity to explore the Move It Gallery. | 13 July 2021 | |
| Mountain Monkeys Ltd | Late arrival due to traffic, compounded by the fact that the climbing wall was unable to be driven to the desired location at the school, despite google maps of the school being shared with MM. A secondary location had to be found which cut into the time allowed. Next, there was limited equipment available which meant that 31 children had to wait to share 5 bows, which would have been ideal if, as intended we could have split into 4 groups, but due to the limited numbers of instructors that arrived we had to stay as one large group for the morning activities. The lead instructor was knowledgeable and able, the more junior instructor struggled to lead archery with the whole group. | 13 July 2021 | |
