Zanzibar Feb 2010:
Welcome back from your safari which I hope was really brilliant. Thank you very much for organising yet another "holiday" for us - Bruce tells me that the lectures were excellent and I enjoyed the whole thing, ashamedly treating it rather as a total "veg-out" and doing absolutely nothing all week - wonderful!
Bev & Bruce, Guernsey
Dear Mike and Anne - just arrived back to snow in Newcastle and already missing the wonderful Indian Ocean. I just wanted to write and thank you for a great trip. We loved meeting everyone, the atmosphere of warmth, the organisation, the setting and I enjoyed the sessions I was involved in. You and your family made everyone feel welcome and set the scene for the smooth and enjoyable week we enjoyed. We were very much looking forward to our week but it still exceeded our expectations.
G Jackson, Speaker. Newcastle
We all had a fab time despite the burning skin which is now peeling .I can’t say enough about the fantastic standard of the speakers and the great atmosphere amongst all.... Looking forward to Burma and Cambodia already but I won’t wish away the summer and of course I am off to your Rome Conference with my mum in April. Thanks again for a fantastic trip.
Christine, Bicester
Thanks to you both for the brilliant and unflappable organisation and the infectious enthusiasm for travel to remote parts. Really great trip.
M Emberton, Speaker, London
Thank you so much for a brilliant time in Zanzibar and Tanzania. Although initially trepidatious of the safari, I felt safe, excited and had a wonderful time. Even the food, which I felt may be a stumbling block was terrific, something for everyone. The talks were excellent but Warren has, for my money, to be the best speaker I've ever heard. I would go to another Conference plus just to hear him talk again! Thank you again for all the superb organisation and care of me and others. A conference and a half to remember forever.
Sue, Sussex
Japan Nov/Dec 09:
Thank you so much for a really wonderful holiday and learning experience, not only medically, but for enabling us to experience and learn about another fascinating country and culture. You both did a brilliant job organising everything for all of us - it can't have been easy! We feel that the balance between tours, free time and lectures was spot on.
Dr & Mrs R.A. Leeds
All three of us had a stupendous, fantabulous time. You excelled yourselves again this time! Although how you get better each time is beyond me! Your patience and attention to detail is unparalleled.
Dr S.S. & family Bromley
This has to be one of the most fantastic conferences ever. Looking back I cannot believe how many fabulous sights we saw and how much was achieved in such a relatively short time. The dinners were also in such great locations and all of the hotels were superb. Thank you for allowing me to share in this wonderful experience.
Mrs M.L. Billericay Non-delegate
It was the best trip ever! Thanks for everything you and Ian did to make it so! We will look forward to joining you on another such trip.
Dr P.N. Doncaster
Just to say thanks for a wonderful Conference Plus (the best yet, for me).
Dr J.H. Neath
Thank you and Ian very much indeed for arranging the wonderful conference in Japan. It truly was the voyage of a lifetime. The hotels were superb and the guides excellent.
Mrs M.M. Ascot Non-delegate
Just a short note to thank you both for all your hard work and preparation. Japan was an excellent conference with an exceptional itinerary.
Dr & Mrs D.B. Market Rasen
Thanks for another fabulous trip, splendidly well organised as usual. It's also good to see faces from previous trips again. As usual, wonderful hotels and excellent tours and guides. Shame it's all over so quickly, but I can now start looking forward to the next one.
Dr P.R. Caterham
Dresden Oct 2009
I had great fun with you all in Dresden, with a super crowd of people and a fantastic social and cultural programme. Thanks so much to Mike and yourself for inviting me and laying on such a memorable trip. I hope perhaps in a few years time when there are some more advances in diabetes that I may be fortunate enough to be invited again!
Arla O. (Speaker)
Once again many thanks for a fantastic conference and "holiday!" It was just what I needed to stir up what remains of my brain.
Dr E. J.
Just to say how much we enjoyed the week-end: so well organised and pleasant and the lectures were really useful too, all 3 speakers quite remarkable in their individual ways. I learnt a lot and we both really enjoyed ourselves.
Dr J. E.
Malta May 2009
Thank you both for organising such a great trip. I thought that the balance of lectures /tours was just right and the whole trip most enjoyable and friendly. I will be looking at next years trips with interest.
Dr J.B. Derby
Malta conference was excellent. We both enjoyed a super event and location.
Dr B.C. Kent
Ski Conference Jan 2009
It was a great conference and you had some particularly good speakers this year. I'm already looking forward to Austria next year! One of the nicest features is meeting up with good friends who go every year. Thanks again for all your hard work in organising the trip.
Dr C.A. Ayrshire
Thanks again for a great week and put me down for next year please!!!
Dr M.C. Lanarkshire
Just been looking at the CD you kindly did for us. - excellent idea, excellent week again! Thanks++++
Dr R.N. North Yorkshire
Sharm el Sheikh 2009
This is just to thank you both again for organising such a very enjoyable week in Sharm el Sheikh - terrific as always - the hotel was great, as were the Luxor and St Catherine's Monastery tours. ...Enjoy a well-earned rest, and thanks again. Roll on Iceland!
Love,
Bruce and Beverley - Guernsey
Alaska & The Rockies 2008
Loved every moment of Rocky mountains and Alaska and deeply impressed by the expert care and attention given to us by Shirley and Ian.
Dr J.P. - Virginia Water
Many thanks for a most enjoyable and efficiently run trip. The organisation of all the trips, hotels, trains, planes, helicopters and not forgetting the conference, were brilliant! The cruise was a marvellous experience (our first), both gastronomic and educational ! As usual with Conference Plus, our memories will stay with us for ever.
Dr J.C. - Sevenoaks
Wendy and I would like to send you our heartfelt thanks for arranging such a wonderful trip to the Rockies & Alaska. We literally had a "Whale of a Time", and have come safely home with some wonderful memories and a few extra pounds in weight. As always your organisation was impeccable, and even when unplanned weather events occurred you sorted us all out and insured we had a great time.
Dr R.E. – Arundel
Argentina February 2008
Gosh, its cold here!
Arrived back last night. Looked at the photos on the CD and watched the DVD of Iguacu. Looking out the office window over the top of the PC this morning, nothing has changed. Seems like it was all a dream- but a wonderful dream. Thank you for putting together a fantastic trip. Best wishes.
Domhnall
Did not get to say good-bye and whats more thank you for an incredible trip. What a country and with your organisation, we were able to enjoy 4 completely different parts of it, each one more spectacular - if that is possible - than the last. Not sure what you can possibly arrange for an encore!
And now I shall enjoy sorting out the photos for an album. What memories I have now stored up and all thanks to you both. Many, many thanks for letting me join this FAMILY in the first place.
With love and until the next time.
Uta
I have to say a big thank you to you both. I was sceptical about Argentina and Liz convinced me to come. I have already bored anyone who will listen to my amazing journey. From the shopping in Buenos Aries for my shopaholic daughter in law to the iceburgs for my geophysic son. The falls and as always the companionship and FUN. Llao Llao was as Mike predicted, quite beautiful. So where next - I shall keep an eye on the web site.
Anne
Berlin March 2007
Thank you for arranging such an interesting trip to Berlin, with your customary flair & efficiency. I learned a lot
about Berlin, and it was good to met up with old friends again.
Dr J, Northwood
Berlin suprassed our expectations, particularly the splendid hotel and the excellent and informative guides. As always it
was an enormous pleasure to see so many old friends and we are already loking forward to future conferences.
Dr W Somerset
Ski Les Menuires Jan 2007
I wanted to write to thank you and Ian once again for all your efforts in organising another enjoyable, informative and successful conference. It all works so smoothly that one just knows there has been a lot of time and effort expended in the background.
Dr M.C. - Berkshire
Thank you very much for the excellent trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the company and met a lot of very interesting people. Can I congratulate both of you for the superbly managed conference- it seemed to be managed effortlessly- just goes to show your expertise in management.
Dr R.S. - Hertfordshire
I must say that I had a wonderful time and met a great bunch of really lovely people...A special thank you to Shirley for ensuring all the arrangements went without a hiccup and for choosing such a lovely slopeside venue.
Dr A.O. – Hertfordshire
Rajasthan Oct 2006
Just wanted to let you know that of all the travelling I have done and of all the conferences I have attended India is the best ever.
You really outdid yourselves with this trip. I will have the memories for the rest of my life to warm up to on a cold Icelandic winter
night
Dr A. S. - Iceland
This must be among the zillions of "thankyous" you must be receiving - it was SUCH a well organised trip, with so much packed into so short a time. I cannot believe everything that we did, and the hotels were fabulous - and a very welcome haven in India! Thank
you both for keeping so cheerful and upbeat, with so many of us to look after. We thought it went extremely well and had a wonderful time. It was lovely to meet some old friends and to make some new.
Dr & Mrs M. - Guernsey

We loved every minute and it was great to meet old and new friends."
Dr & Mr
J. - Middx
"It was a great conference and we enjoyed it very
much, as always. You both work so hard on everyone's behalf and we are
so grateful. We hope you can now have a nice rest until India (to which
we are very much looking forward)."
Dr & Mrs W. Northant
Krakow March 2006
"Another triumph!
Thank you for a great trip! It was a memorable
weekend and as usual, organised to perfection.
I will not visit Auschwitz again, but am enormously
glad that I have seen it, and will remember it
for ever. It is always good to meet up with old
friends. The food and entertainment was super
and the experience of the town excellent…See
you in Marrakesh."
Sarah

Dr A Mattison, Cheshire
Malaysia & Singapore Nov 2009
"Well, we’re back, and what a fantastic time we've had! Borneo was fantastic - despite the best efforts of the rain and the leeches - and the local agencies did a great job of organising things on the ground. Thanks for all your fantastic hard work and effort in getting this all arranged at such short notice - it was hugely appreciated by us all! Catch up again soon"
