- "Thank you so much for running the two cartoon workshops at Abingdon County Hall Museum for the Abingdon Arts Festival 2009. They were both a rousing success. You led the activity really well, and the glowing praise from the parents and children after each event was extremely gratifying for the Museum. Your warm approach and attitude made it a relaxed and enjoyable experience for our staff. Hopefully, you will be able to fit us in, on your inevitably busy schedule, when we reopen in a few years time."
Chris Gale - Treasurer, Abingdon Arts Festival Committee, County Hall Museum - "I employed Peter Bellingham (aka Scooter Mckenzie) to run cartooning workshops as part of a family day, on the recommendation of a colleague who had seen him at Abingdon Museum. He ran several sessions throughout the day and had everyone from toddlers to grandparents joining in at the same time. He was able to skilfully adapt to all of these different participants so that everyone enjoyed and gained from the experience. It was lovely to see different generations working together in this manner. He was very patient, with a calm method of delivery. Participants learnt a lot of techniques and I’m sure that many of them will have been inspired to carry on. I would recommend him to any other organisation looking for a fun and informative activity."
Christina Parker - Head of Learning, River & Rowing Museum, Henley on Thames - "Peter has now done two cartooning workshops for East Midlands Mensa that have entertained and enthralled dozens of members. Peter makes it all look so easy! Lots of fun for all ages."
