We held our Pool Competition in Red Square this Wednesday. It was a great turned out  considering it was Donegal Tuesday the day before. We had 24 people entering the competition at 4 euro each. It was a great day to have majority of the team together and have some bonding time as a team. It was an enjoyable day to get to know our team-members a bit more. Ariane took some great pictures at the Pool Competition, Luke & Brendan made a simple & direct Pool Competition Poster, Rachel made an Event on Facebook for our Pool Competition,  Aisling & Paula made some buckets with Console logos on them for donations , Daniela is responsible for a money box to give change to people, Aidan was the judge and he have all the rules for the competition, Caitriona provided some Red Bull for our attendees and Mary was responsible to approach people to come to our event at  Union Square and she was brilliant at it. (She managed to get 8 guys to join our competition in   5 minutes). *Gary never turned up at the Pool Competition no apology was send.

I set up a Facebook Like Page for our event Mob Masquerade Ball and it is up and running with almost 100 likes at the moment. We are getting some great support from Local business, fellow students and friends & family.

I put up few statuses and pictures on our Main Event page in the hope to attract more people to come to our Pool Competition and I found out that by tagging people in photos on Facebook you can reach a wider audience (By viewing the insights you can see where the views are going to..e.g your post, status or picture).

It had been a busy week and will be even busier in the next 2 weeks with Car Wash, Business Symposium and Quiz Night to come. So far I think our team is very cooperative and we haven't had any major issues with working with any team-members and we are coming together as a team. Although some members could contribute a little more to the team.

This week we are focusing on our Pool Competition which is to be held on the 20th February at Red Square at GMIT's Galway Campus. The process is going well so far and delegating jobs to the team. Luke was responsible for the Pool Competition's Poster, Rachel to set up an Event for the Pool Competition on Facebook and Gary & Alan are to sent out emails to all students in the Galway Campus to inform them about our Pool Competition.

We are also working on the Car Wash event to happen on the 27th February at GMIT's loading bay. Brendan is responsible for the Car Wash Poster. Print the posters and put the posters up around college.

I have contacted Nicola Mcguire from Jazz Cats in the hope to perform at our Mob Masquerade Ball event and we felt that her band will fit our event theme very well. She have to perform at an event on the same date but will try to arrange some musicians for our event and try to make it at our event on the night. We will have to wait for her response.

I also contacted few other sponsors such as Elles Cafe , Sara Boutique and Upstyles Galway. They all are interested in sponsoring our event and will be giving us some vouchers for Quiz Night, Pool competition or our main event. We need to give them more details in due course.

Caitriona was responsible to book Flannerys Hotel for our Quiz night for the 27th February,2013.

We are still struggling with our Team Logo and still seeking help from the team. Few ideas include a girl with Mask and guy with hat going back to back or MM with a hat on one M and a mask on the other M.

I think we are making some good progress on the Event Planning Process but some team members need to put more contributions in the team. We felt the need to add some pressure to some people in order to get them to achieve more.

I am responsible to make our Mob Masquerade Ball Event Poster with the help of Daniela from our team as she have experience in Visual Design and other members' suggestions. The poster is attached in the Blog Entry. We look forward to held the Pool Competition next Wednesday.
