Dear Martin & Judy I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the holiday (New Year) Your organisation is outstanding and you are both such truly lovely people. Add two more professional and lovely people in Bob & Jacky and I couldnt believe you could find a better company running bridge holidays. I wish you every success and hope to be able to join you again on another occasion in the near future.
Dear Martin, We had such a good holiday at the St George Hotel and wanted to thank you for all your hard work in ensuring that we had our much awaited winter break. The transfer from Tunisia to Cyprus appeared seamless but we can appreciate what went on behind the scenes! As always First for Bridge continued its tradition of super holidays, always friendly, and always in pleasant surroundings.	Hi Martin & Judy, Just a note to thank you so much for once again providing a really great holiday, the hotel (Royal Holiday Palace Turkey) was really superb and oh my goodness all that tasty varied food and then there was the booze! But really what makes the lovely friendly atmosphere is you two. And of course the fact that you ordered 14 days of sunshine is particularly clever. Many thanks folks, we'll see you again soon.
Dear Martin, Just a brief note of personal thanks for a lovely holiday in Cyprus. I was really impressed with how you managed to get us all there at such short notice. Though rather apprehensive about the bridge, I enjoyed playing very much and was grateful for all your encouragement. Please extend my thanks to your wonderful team of helpers. Best wishes. PS looking forward to the next time.	A very big thank you. To all concerned in the holiday in Paphos. A luxurious hotel, superb food, and excellent bridge programme, well directed and a friendly crowd all added up to a very enjoyable tow weeks. I can say it was one of the best bridge holidays I have enjoyed. My daily swim in such an atmospheric pool certainly got the day off to a good start. Sorry not to see you Judy, you were missed. I would like to comment how well Allan (Allan Sanis) did his job with the singles - he certainly is a people person. Keep up the good work. Sincerely
Dear Judy & Martin A brief note to thank you for all the trouble that you both went to, to organise our holiday at S'Algar starting on the 15th May 2010. Great organisation backed up by lots of work behind the scenes, super hotel and surroundings, Andrew and his wisdom, and a great crowd of bridge players. I/we hope to join the crowd again next year at the excellent hotel. PS. Would love a copy of the photo. Thanks again.	Hi Judy and Martin ****** and I want to thank you for one of the best holidays we have enjoyed together. It was even better than some of our cruising experiences. I am also requesting, as you suggested, the photo of the day so that I can forward it to some friends of mine. We don’t take photos so we especially treasure those that others take. We will certainly look out for other opportunities to join your holidays The holiday was worth every penny and we wish you well for the future. Best wishes
Dear Martin & Judy, Thanks for a lovely holiday (excellent organisation and good companionship).	Dear Judy and Martin Thank you for making my bridge holiday so enjoyable. You both really look after people so well. I really liked the hotel (S'Algar) and the food. It was a good group of interesting and friendly people.
Dear Martin Thank you so much for such an excellent bridge holiday. I can really say that it was one of the best organised holidays we have ever had. I can’t speak highly enough of the professional way in which the bridge was organised. What a magnificent bridge room and what wonderful hosts. I hope you had a safe journey home and that now you have seen your new granddaughter. I hope we will have a chance to meet Judy on our next First for Bridge holiday.	Hello Martin & Judy, We just want you to know how very much we enjoyed our week with you at La Quinta. The hotel was great and the bridge was brilliantly organised and most informative. We did learn a lot – it’s just a matter of putting it into practice now!! We though our fellow “Bridgers” were such a great crowd and everyone seemed to get on so well together – that was a real bonus. Could you let us have a copy of the quiz please. All things being equal we would love to join you on another Bridge holiday. Best regards to both and thank you again – it was lovely to meet you.
Dear Judy and Martin, I did so very much enjoy my holiday in Madeira and the bridge and meeting so many lovely people. You were marvellous.	Dear Martin & Judy, Thank you both for organising yet another great holiday for us. We enjoyed ourselves very much meeting up with old friends and making new ones.
Dear Martin & Judy, Many thanks for a really well run holiday. The first welcome surprise was the transfer from airport to hotel. You do not mention this in your brochure and usually what is not mentioned is not provided. Second really impressive thing was that the location of rooms requested was read by you and supplied. I thought that was really excellent as it is far easier not to bother with things like that. That assured me that it was going to be a well run week. And it certainly was. You seemed very aware of guests like me who had come alone to make sure we were included and not left to feel like outsiders. Very many thanks.	Hi Judy and Martin, Once again, many thanks for giving us all such a great time. We enjoyed it all – even when our play was dismal! (When wasn't it) You both put in such a lot of work, but make it seem effortless because you appear to be able to take time to enjoy the company too. We certainly enjoyed yours. I didn't get all the answers to quiz when they were up on the board, If you haven’t thrown them out of your computer I’d like a copy please.
Dear Martin & Judy, A short note to thank you for a wonderful bridge holiday. Well arranged, delightful company, superb direction and a posh hotel, what more does one want.	Just a line to say thank you for being you – giving us a wonderful bridge holiday, every aspect caringly thought about and much appreciated by both of us.
Dear Martin & Judy, Just a note to say how much I enjoyed my fortnight in the Algarve. I have been on half a dozen bridge holidays and you and Judy with Graham & Berry are quite the best, most relaxed but most efficient of them. The results out quickest too. It all made for a very happy fortnight and I hope we shall be with you again soon.	Dear Martin & Judy, Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the bridge fortnight at Vilamoura. Our grateful thanks to you both and to Graham & Berry, for such a friendly well organised holiday.
Dear Judy & Martin, 6th Jan 2009. A little note to thank you for another most enjoyable bridge holiday. It was good to discover that nothing has changed, the atmosphere being relaxed and friendly and the organisation appearing to be seamless. We hope to see you again sometime this year. Best wishes to you both.	Thank you so much for a really lovely New Year holiday. You make it all look so easy, but I appreciate the terrific amount of hard work that inevitably has to be done for everything to run so smoothly.
