• Steve, just wanted to drop an e-mail thanking you for a fantastic weekend! I had the time of my life and met so many fantastic people wanting to see me tie my flies. You and Bridgette and the rest of the team did a great job with the organization and everything went smoothly. I hope my small token of appreciation finds it way to a nice spot at your place! Fishing the Itchen on monday was a great way to finish of one of the best weekends I have had in a long time! See you next year!

  Cheers, Ulf Hagstrom

• Steve, Congratulations on putting on such a fantastic fly-fair once again.
  Please thank all the team involved – I know some of them, you know them all!

  My very kindest regards, Stuart Crofts 

• Hi Steve,

  On behalf of myself and the other Newcastle University students that attended the BFFI on Saturday I just want to say thank you very much for having us, it was a great experience and we managed to collect 250 pieces of data which was much more than what we expected.

  Thanks again, Jenna

• Hi Steve, Bridgette, The Babes and the rest of the BFFI team,

  Thank you for once again inviting me to tie at the BFFI and for all the hard work that you all put in to making the fair fantastic event that it is.

  It was an amazing weekend and as always it is a great pleasure to spend time with the 'extended family' (I think you know what I mean by that).

  The only problem was the usual one - it was all over to quickly!

  Very best wishes, Chris Watson

• Hi Steve

  Just to let you know we had a great time at the show and would love to be able to attend next year too. We would ideally like to be on a corner stand if possible as well please. Two stands could be an option for us if the space becomes available on a corner, or anywhere with an open front. As we have trays of flies it would just be that be easier if people could walk around the outside edge of the stand picking their choice of fly. I guess we will have to wait and see nearer the time if this option becomes available.

  Thanks again, Craig Barr

• Hi Steve

  Just a quickie to say thanks to yourself, Bridgete and the  BFFI meals-on-wheels girls.
  Beautifully organised, I didn't hear one complaint the whole weekend.    A very successful result to what  I'm sure was a lot of hard work by you both.    Hope you made a pile and intend whipping your good lady off to the sun for a couple of weeks winter sunshine now.
  Take care, George Barron

• Hi Steve

  Just a quick note to thank you very much for arranging such a splendid event this year. The quality of the demonstrations and exhibitors was excellent and it was a pleasure to visit it, there was too much to take in and it really justifies a two day visit but I never have the space for a two day visit.

  Best wishes, Mike

  P.S if this year’s crop of hen pheasants yields some melanistic  birds could you do me a couple of skins?
