Reflective Diary- Mad-Hatters Tea Party

8th October 2013 
Mad-Hatters Tea Party

Today there was a group meeting. The meeting included me having the responsibility of creating a schedule for the event. Also as a group we wrote down what shops we could go into for cakes. I also had the responsibility for asking members of the class if any of them could bake cakes for the sale.

Its only a week away from the event and we have had meetings leading up to the event. In the meeting that we had today it was finalised how many cakes we where having. It was also decided how people where bringing the cakes into college or getting a lift. As part of front of house it was my job to make sure that the set up of the wicked had been done.

The day before the event. The meeting we had today was about where we are going to store the cakes in the morning of the event. we also needed to check what the decorations looked like and if they fitted within the theme. Finally we had the make sure that we had floats to collect the money. The marketing team where ask to get a memeber of the Gaudian (local news paper) to take photos and get the campain going and heard of.

Overall the Mad Hatters Tea Party went very well. There were many features that the group exceled in and there were many features that didn’t. We raised £276.27 and we sold most of the cakes. One reason why we sold most of the cakes was because the cakes were to a good standard. Another way that the cake sale was affect was the theme and concept (Mad hatter tea party) this theme ran throughout the process leading up to the sale and the sale. We made sure that the logo was on posters and PowerPoint’s around college. To make the bake sale well known we made sure that all posters where all around college with clear instructions of the time and date. We also made sure that members of the production arts team went into briefing to make it more aware.
Even though the event went very well there were still some downfalls. For example the event felt very rushed because we as a whole left everything to last minute. One way we could have overcome this would be by creating a ‘To do list’ which would have made the event more organised in itself, and the IB and Production Arts teams would have known what was going on throughout the process.

The reason why we are doing theses’ events is to help raise money for children in Moldova. The total money that we need to raise is £3000.

  1. A good first attempt Gemma, you have included some poignant reflections and justifications however at times you have just mentioned your actions without discussing WHY you made those decisions. Make sure your Arley diary is far more detailed.
