"A good site finishes off a completely professional set up . A dream come true after about 35 years of organising events. Fabulous job over the weekend escorting the Junior Tour of Wales, no problems with traffic at all in spite of there being 90 riders doing 250 miles over all sorts of terrain."

"Thanks for a brilliant job at Noel Jones Memorial on Sunday. Best motorcycle marshalling I've seen for a long time - as good as any premier calendar if not better. Especially when us 2nd cats think we're pros and ride on the right hand side of the road! Keep up the good work."
Ian Packer

"We were really grateful for the help given to our event - Mendip Hills Road Race (Womens National RR series). Many of the riders and their supporters have since written to me praising Phil and Graham for their professionalism. In particular the way they positioned themselves right on the white line whenever possible to provide maximum protection for the riders and to ensure that on-coming traffic had a very clear advance warning of a hazard round the bend. One father commented "when you have your 16yr old daughter taking to open-road races for the first time, you chew your fingernails, but she came back very positive about the course and the standard of the marshalling". We look forward to working with you again next year. Jeff Coast Race Organiser Bristol Cycling Development Squad (May 2006)"

"Dear all, Just a short message to thank all the WNEG riders who did such a great job at the Welsh Road Race Championships last weekend. In awful conditions, I thought that the coverage of the race and the protection of the riders was first class. My thanks to you all, and especially to Norman who I know did alot of work towards the succesful event "
Peter Sommers - CEO - Welsh Cycling

"Just a short message to say what a great job 2 members og the WNEG did on the John Andrews Memorial Road Race on Sunday 18th June. I was the Chief Commissaire on the race and found them to be extremely professional and invaluable in the running of a safe and smooth race. Thanks for a great job"
