Week Eighteen

DIGITAL SHOWCASE BUILD UP & PRE-SHOW:

Well, it was the day. It was time for the Digital Showcase and as I'd finished my boards weeks ago to be displayed at the event and all the food and drink had been delivered and were ready to be sold to raise money for HALE, I found myself thrusted into the eye of the storm.

As they all remained at College fretting like my Mum does when we run out of Milk, I was relaxed and ready to go as I found myself at BCB Radio at the request of Stephen from Marketing to promote the Showcase to the Bradford District. (Well, I am made for this aren't I?)

So, whilst I stole the show at BCB answering questions even I was unprepared for with ease, I returned to College to find out that HALE aren't just a 'sexual health bus' as I and to be fair, most people did but this didn't bother me as I went to meet Scott Leatherbarrow from the Keighley Cougars and gave him the grand tour of the College with pictures being taken left, right and centre by Stephen from Marketing as well as the College's own photographer.

DIGITAL SHOWCASE:

The actual showcase itself when better than expected despite the chaotic build up and chopping and changing throughout. I think the bigger venue, better timing and more publicity of the event helped it massively in regards to that aspect.

Mark, Nick and the Music students stole the show outside with their simply awesome music performances whilst inside everything was going okay despite Heather stressing some of us even during the event itself. I found myself spending most of the afternoon running the food stall with Allikah and Tweeting away, even if Heather did want me to do it on my personal account and not the actual Shipley Media account.

Whilst the babies in attendance stole hearts, I went on to do the raffle. I raised a few laughs on the mic, and nearly brought the house down when it was revealed Heather Savage had won the spray tan. My Grandma won the Shimla Spice voucher, Alison in Marketing won the signed Cougars shirt with Saahib taking home the Spa Day for Two.

At the end of the event, we took £50 out of the budget for Pizzas. The pizzas were #Lush it's safe to say! So, the Showcase was over and that was all she wrote.
