In the build up to the launch event, we managed to overcome some obstacles that would have originally set us back, however the event took place on Monday 7th December and we believe it was a great success.  It started at 6pm and ran all the way through until 1am, with a continuous turn out of people throughout the evening. The doors were open to anyone and we managed to generate approximately 90 individuals to come and try ‘The Bearded Brew’ and check out our website. We were hoping to have a minimum of 50 people due to a potential venue charge, however we managed to avoid this from the venue exceeding their own profit targets set for the night. We also had the obstacle of the band cancelling last minute. However, after a long night of searching, we found 3 amazing acts to perform instead! Lewis Canner performed for an hour, Lauren Davidson performed a set, and the band Striped Sight went on at half 10. All in all it was a huge success, and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome.

But the main purpose of the event was to showcase the website and get some feedback. We had a whole feedback wall that had some great feedback written on it by the end of the night. We have used this feedback to make improvements to the site, ready for the final hand in. The website is now finished. We are very happy with the work we have produced this term, and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome of the event.

But yes, here it is. We are proud to showcase:

So today was the first day of letting the public know about the event we are holding at the Rogue Saint.  We created a Facebook events page (which is remaining private for now) and printed 200 flyers, to distribute around the University.  After spending a couple of hours, walking around and talking to people about the event, we were shocked by the interest we have already had.  The facebook event holds 25 people that have confirmed yes, in less than 24 hours and we had great feedback from some of the University professors we got to talk to.  We decided it would be a good idea to head to the venue and let them know about the potential turn out of people, so they had a heads up too.  We are really excited that the evening we have planned is appealing to people and really hope we can get together a great number of people to experience the beer and give us some helpful feedback on our website.

We decided to turn away from using the original design for our event invitation and go with something that was more suited to the intended website design. After plenty of trial and error and learning new skills on Indesign, our final design looks like this :
