So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight!

So my last ever blog for Walkers (sigh, thank goodness, at last, yippee, I hear you say!!).

As I say 'goodbye', Leigh, my replacement says 'hello'.  She will be working 4/5 days a week as receptionist, taking phone calls, bookings, queries, and harassing all you instructors' for diary updates and sending you all other general annoying texts/voice mail messages.  Thank you for my well wishes, cards and bits, and for being nice people to have worked with.  It makes a big difference.  And to my lovely girls' and the Walkers family for the presents; lots chocolates, processco, my scarf, flowers and vouchers.

A special thanks goes out to Kim and Jim for my years supply of cheese, bread and Marmite to make my toasted sarnies.  I will NOT go without.

Friday 9th Sally and Max were promoting Walkers driving lessons in Deptford and then on Saturday they were in Sutton, so if you were around you may have seen them?  They were also in Orpington Tuesday just gone; 13th.  And will be in Lewisham on Friday, 16th and Jamie and Sally will be in Bromley Saturday, 17th

Xmas is creeping up and was only 6 weeks away on Tuesday this week?!  Karen has worked out to get all her Christmas shopping completed on time she needs to purchase an average of 9 presents per week, I do not envy her.  Remember Walkers have gift vouchers available for purchase which would be a fantastic gift idea for anybody who hasn't passed their driving test yet.  The driving lesson gift vouchers are available for both manual and automatic and evening and weekend or daytime and as blocks or individual lessons.

I have arranged a month of Walkers driving lesson promotions for December.  These begin Monday 3rd in Bexleyheath for four days, then moving to Woolwich until Sunday 9th of December.  From Monday 10th December Walkers will be in Centrale Croydon, inside the mall by the escalators/lifts catching all the passer bys.  Lewisham is Walkers last stop before Christmas and the promotion will be there from Monday 17th up until and including, Christmas Eve.

Promotional offers still running;
5 manual daytime driving lessons are available from £80, automatic from £90 and evening and weekends £100 *T&Cs apply.
10 daytime driving lessons are priced at £180 and evening and weekend are £205 *T&Cs apply.
WEB OFFER
10 daytime lessons priced at £185 (evening and weekend £210) and includes a free DVD and Highway Code theory book
O2 PRIORITY MOMENTS
5 manual daytime lessons for £85 and includes a free DVD and Highway Code theory book.  According to the O2 website 22 of these offers have been redeemed so it's proving quite a popular moment, but they are only valid to O2 customers.  *T&Cs apply.

Congratulations to the following pupils for passing their driving tests and to their wonderful Walkers driving instructors for teaching them.......

Also on another note we had a lovely message from a Marcia Robinson who passed her automatic driving test with Steven Hewitt and she had this to say;

"Good Morning I wanted to share my experience with Walkers Driving School. Thanks so much for introducing me to Steven, he was fantastic. So fantastic I passed First Time. He was calm and patient with me which is exactly what I needed. Again thanks so much Walkers, I am proud to be a Pink Holder now xxxx."

Thank you and goodbye.......................................
