“Gail Emms was a huge hit when she came to speak and present prizes here at Cheam on Saturday 7th July. She had a horrendous journey which meant that we wheeled her into a room full of 700 people the moment she arrived and she then stood up and spoke for 10 minutes (with no notes!) and delivered a perfect speech. I can’t tell you how many parents and children have commented on her speech since Saturday. Thank you for arranging and we are hoping that we may see Gail here again at Cheam some day in the future.” – Cheam School
