Report

The event was attended approxiamately 60 people, we gave a presentation to the groups as a whole we spoke with 20 people individually about the projects in the available time. This event provided guidance on how to approach Have a Go Day where the expected attendees will be 15,000 over a six hour period.

Notes:

A5 cards appeared to be clear and effective
the posters needed to be displayed better as they were lost in the space
consistency in appearance - WMAU or WCW shirts
an active display - where editing can happen
a passive display - of different ways to participate
wider variety of materials
Give aways and items for fundraising
an activity/competition to participate in(for Have a Go Day these need to be registered with Lotteries West)
