Friday 12 February

The Launch! (Carole, Christie, Ciara, Lucy, Rachel)

The codes went live. Met at 9.30 and published the Facebook page. Al invited all of our friends. Get ourselves in our fat suits! Set up at the table at the front entrance of QMU with cakes, flyers and laptops just in time for the 10.47 train coming in.

JUST after we set up, the fire alarm went off! This worked out very well for us and we attracted a lot of attention! Security guards looked after our cakes while we waited outside. Decided to abandon laptop idea as took far too long for people to sign up.

Instead we started to collect names & e-mail addresses for people (to e-mail later) and said we would enter them into a prize draw to win a £20 bar tab. We spoke to the firemen as they came out of the building and they agreed to have a picture taken with us!

Back inside, we approached people as they came in the door and also spoke to people in the atrium and canteen. Mike agreed to sign up with us as we were the first group to campaign. Got changed and packed up at about 1pm. Checked Facebook page and noticed there was a problem with the invitations we sent so all resent them.
