    Moreton Bay Regional Council Childrens Programs

  • Just a quick email to say thank you for the great day we had with Nik yesterday. He was more than flexible in what we wanted to do on the day and the kids had a lot of fun. The day went really well with the Principal and teachers joining in and loving the experience. My kids are not beginners and Nik worked well to extend them. I have more than enough patterns and ideas to go on and teach the kids now.
