Dear Mike
Now the dust is settled and teams have got home safely, I wanted to thank
you formally on behalf of GBWR for your time at the GB Cup. I think we really
raised the bar with the event and your commentary went a long in achieving
this.
I've read your article and it's clear you enjoyed our sport, we know we've
got a great game and we will keep shouting about it.
Justin and I enjoyed having a great discussion with you over Saturday's meal,
and we went away talking into the small hours about some of the changes that
might just improve the speed and flow. Watch this space!
Good luck with all your future ventures, and wheelchair rugby looks forward to
being part of them.

Dear Mike
I just wanted to write and thank you for all your hard work this
year at the BT Paralympic World Cup.
I hope you enjoyed your time at the event, it was lovely to meet you and put a face to a name! We certainly felt the Wheelchair Basketball was absolutely fantastic, although it was a shame not to have a GB team in the final.
You kept the crowd going throughout the week and were great to work with so thank you.
The feedback received from the athletes, support staff, officials, sports, partners and spectators has been so positive and we're really pleased.

Hi Mike Shaft,
I’m a Kenyan who studied at Manchester Polytechnic between 1984 and 1986. I actually met my South African wife (to be at the time) during this time. You used to make our Sunday evenings the best time of the week (seriously!!). We’ve now been married for 20yrs and for the last 6yrs, are resident in South Africa after spending our first 14yrs in Kenya.
I can assure you your music selection at the time, played a central part in cementing our relationship during those formative years.

Thank you very much for chairing the meeting at Bolton Library Lecture last Friday. Your handling of the whole meeting allowed for a full and wide ranging debate which was conducted with sensivity and good humour. We are grateful to you.

Dear Mike,
"The reason I am writing this letter is just to say that the gig at the Hacienda was by far the best 'Street Party' so far. In all the time that I have known you I have never seen you do a live gig - what can I say Mike apart from "You are f....... brilliant", a true professional, I just could not believe what an excellent showman you are."

Dear Mike,
"As usual Mike, you gave 100% and were the glue that brought all the elements of each event together and created that fantastic basketball atmosphere. Your dedication, expertise and flexibility were hugely appreciated. So a huge thank you especially for the Slamtastic Tour which would have been half the event without your input."
"I for one will not forget the sight of that Nun playing basketball with all the kids screaming Sister! Sister!"
"….I have so enjoyed working with you over the last year. I have been left with a genuine love for the game, which will stay with me for life and hope that I will have a chance to work with you again at some point."
