Coerced Confessions
"Dear Moody Crewe, Gary Owens
Just a quick note of thanks to the members of the Moody Crewe who helped entertain those families attending the 4th Worldwide Challenger Jamboree May 8-10, 2009. Many players and parents told us that having the Crewe at our event was the highlight of the weekend. Thanks again and we hope you’ll want to come back again next May. I know all the players will be looking for you!!!"

"I wanted to thank you and your crewe very, very much for coming to our family fun night and adding a very authentic Pirate flair to the evening! To date every person I have talked to has said it was our best event yet and that they really enjoyed you guys. It is also looking to be our most profitable event to date, which given the current economic conditions is amazing. This was my first time helping run an event of this type and although it went wonderfully I really felt we kind of left you guys to make your own way and figure out how to help. Regardless of that you all made the most of it and really spent time with the kids, played games with them, and mingled among the crowds, etc. Your independence is a reflection of you and your crewe's professionalism and experience."
