"On behalf of the English Darts Organisation, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the IOM Government for their trust and in doing so assure everyone that not only will we be doing our utmost to preserve the wonderful Festival legacy Les and Steve have provided but, with the introduction of several new initiatives backed up by the most experienced team of dedicated event organisers in darts we are confident that in the years ahead we will be able to make the festival even bigger and more enjoyable for all visitors.
We look forward to welcoming many old and no doubt many new friends in March and in the years thereafter."

"After thirty years many were understandably disappointed for Les and Steve but if anyone was to ever take their place then unquestionably it had to be the EDO who in my experience are the best tournament organisers in darts and I am now really looking forward to seeing so many good friends in March" 

"I have so many wonderful memories of the IOM festival and have been going there for more years than I care to remember and the employment of the EDO as new event organisers will ensure that I (and no doubt hundreds of others) will continue to go for many years to come. A fabulous event and one not to be missed"
