Subject: End of Year Celebration Bracknell Forest Mayor - HUGE THANKS TO THE BEST TOASTMASTER

Dear Eugene

Our thanks to you are not sufficient, you were the most amazing Toastmaster!

Without you the evening would not have rolled, everyone bought into the evening from the very first moment.
 
So let’s go down the feedback list:

1) Were we happy?....... You betcha!

2) You were fun from the very first moment and kept it going right through the whole evening. From the first moment you reminded us why we were there…the fun started!!

3) I would definatley recommend to you to other Mayors, absolutely in spades! But I feel I want to put you and Sheila into a box and file you under: MINE! No sharing!
 
Once again Eugene thank you.  I hope you enjoyed the menu and you and Sheila didn’t get indigestion!

With my very best wishes,

Tina

Milton Keynes College.

Eugene and Sheila performed as Toastmaster for us on two, very significant and high profile events for the College.  Firstly, he joined us at our inaugural HND/HNC graduation event, which was held at Woburn Sculpture Gallery.  

Eugene's was amazing, his presence really added to the great sense of occasion in this wonderful venue and I know the students, their parents and our staff were very impressed with his ability to organise the large numbers in attendance, each with their own responsibilities on the day.  

The second occasion was to celebrate the first anniversary of our Business and Leadership Centre and saw over 100 businesses joining us.  Eugene was instrumental in ensuring that everything went to plan, no mean feat considering the event was held over two floors and involved everything from live music (on both floors), presentations, awards and food!  Again, he was the very epitome of professionalism and we received many plaudits on how smoothly the evening went.

​I am very happy to recommend for any occasion.

Dear Eugene,

I would like to thank you so much for the fantastic show you put on for us. 



I have had so many excellent comments about how amazing and funny you were and the magic of course was seamless.   


I'm sure you got a feel for that anyway by the amount of  laughing from the audience.   Personally, I still can't get the image of the folded banana out of my mind.   Brilliant!

I look forward to future opportunities of seeing you perform and in the meantime I hope your 'retirement business' continues to boom.

Kind Regards,
Louise

Dear Eugene & Sheila – many thanks for a great night! 

Everybody I mingled with after the event (club members and guests) loved the whole evening, so much fun and laughter, the show you gave us was so funny.
 
I will get some more scientific feedback at our next club meeting and get back to you
 
Once again many thanks for making our Charter a great event!
 
Regards,

William

Dear Eugene,

What a tremendous show you and Sheila put on for us on Friday - the laughter didn’t seem to stop throughout your performance.  We have had such positive feedback about how entertaining and clever your act was.  

All members agreed it was such a joy to have the longer show from you and the yellow bandana trick is so very funny thanks to your very expressive body language.  

It is such a skill to keep people laughing constantly for over an hour  I imagine you must be so tired the following day!


Thank you for your kind wishes about my year as President and it is flying by.

I would highly recommend you to anyone.


Kind regards,

Dear Eugene.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you on behalf of Heart of England Mencap for the magnificent job you did at our fundraising Charity Ball.

Your support throughout the whole event was fantastic – from coordinating with the hotel staff and keeping them to time through to making my guests feel so much at ease with your warm welcome. 

Your style and approach to the event helped us to achieve one of our ambitions of 'guests having ‘fun’ – the magic and communication you had with each guest before the dinner really supported this theme and the feedback I had was..... you were fantastic!!

 In terms of managing the auction – you were just so impressive – building that ‘competitive’ spirit with so much fun and laughter.  That was the key part of the evening and you made it happen. 

 I have received so many comments about how fantastic you were, we've held other auctions and events before – this was by far the best.

I would not hesitate to recommend you to any organisation in the future and I’d be happy to share any comments with future clients.

Many thanks

Hi Eugene and Sheila

Thank you both so very much for helping make our event so successful. We couldn't extract Sheila from the kitchen, with the problems we had, she was brilliant coping calmly and making sure all the food got out on time and no one was aware of any problems.

There have been so many comments about how you ran the whole evening for us, so much fun, everyone enjoyed themselves and your interaction with everyone made amazing.  


We raised over £6000 for Rennie Grove!!! We can hardly believe that, that is double what we normally raise, thank you so much for doing the auction for us.......it was so funny. 

Eugene - you did an fantastic job; effectively running the whole evening from start to finish for us, it would never have worked otherwise. You were amazing running the Auction so well, raising wonderful amount of money and without taking too long either.  


Thanks for keeping us ALL on track.

Thank you so much for your support.


The Ball team!

Hi Eugene,
 
Hope you are well.  I'm in the process of organising another charity ball at Piper's Corner School for the evening of Saturday 29th June and was wondering if you were available to come and do some more magic for us?
 
Everyone last year thought that you were amazing and your magic absolutely brilliant and I've had several requests to see if we can book you again for this year.
 
Please let me know.
 
Kindest regards,
Charlie

Dear Eugene,
 
You were amazing, what a fantastic evening, please feel free to quote me  (see below):
.................................................
 
“The brethren and their guests enjoyed Eugene and his magic, it certainly made the weekend get off on the right foot – or was it the left foot?”
 
“The table magic left everyone confounded – as always – I have seen Eugene do many of the tricks before but it never ceases to amaze me – many thought they had worked out how Eugene did the tricks but were proved wrong every time”

Eugene is amazing

 
“I would certainly recommend anyone contemplating something different for their Ladies Festival then look no further and book Eugene Matthias”
 
Kind regards,

I would like to say a special thank you to you both for the wonderful job you did at our Graduation Ceremony yesterday. Having professional toastmasters at an event of this calibre added to the sense of occasion and formality beautifully. It was a joy to work you both and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your professional toastmaster services to others.

Kindest regards
