Pre-event:

The set-up for the banner was done on the 28th September 2016 at the Foyer @ Block B. Team 3 was split into two groups, one group went down to fixtures room while the other group went to Foyer to prepare for set-up. Poster stands were placed at the common areas of the business blocks, car parks as well as the main entrance @ The atrium to guide to the guests to the event venue. Photos were taken before movement of furniture, for us to shift it back into the original position. After the set-up, there was a final rehearsal in the morning to ensure that everything would go on well for the event.

The Event:

On the event day, Team 3 reported to the Foyer at Block B @ 9.15 am to start the set up for the event. Set-up was completed by 11 am. We had a final rehearsal for a hour and a half from 11 am to 12.30 pm, followed by a quick lunch before we reported back to the event venue at 12.30 pm.

Wrap up

All the teams and guests left the venue by 5.40 pm. We started to clear up and arrange the furniture back to their original position. All the fixtures , poster stands and chairs were returned to the fixtures room. We had a de-brief by Miss Quek and afterwhich we left the Foyer @ Block B at 6pm.





Conclusion

Even though it was a short event, we had lots of fun and we also experienced a lot of different aspects of planning an important event. We would like to thank NTUC FairPrice, MakerSpace, Directors of NYP,  Ms Quek, Mr Sudesh, and Ms Choo for having faith in our EMRS team and providing us with the opportunity to plan and execute the event. We would also like to thank the participants for giving their cooperation, because without them, the event would not be possible. We learnt that we have to keep calm and stay positive when there are unexpected problems. To conclude, the team handled the event with consistent enthusiasm, leading to a successful event. The team had huge smiles at the end of the event and we definitely moved closer as a team.


EMRS TEAM 3!
