Yesterday, the 3rd of March, all the Tys went to Clane GAA club for the first heat of the County Enterprise Board Mini Company Competition. We've been working on our companies for months and finally it was time to show people how far we've come. Our company, The Just Desserts, has come such a long way in only a few short months. We've got scammed, had disagreements in our group and had financial troubles but we've managed to get into the final :D
We worked really hard on our presentation for the competition, Sarah's dad sponsored our group by making the display board for our stand and we all went over to Sarah's house one day after school to decorate it. We designed it as a little cottage complete with photo frames containing our recipes :L Aoife's mum, who's a chef, made us her gorgeous brownies and Sarah's dad made a lovley strawberry cheesecake, the food disappeared pretty quickly :L Our stand looked really well and the judges seemed to love it :) We were the first group to be interviewed, our judge was eager to start and began talking to us before the judging was due to begin :L We were all nervous before the interview, but it turned out to be fine. The judge was lovely, just talking to us about how many we've sold, he asked us about the trouble we had with being scammed so we told him the story about us being amature buyers on the internet :L He told us he loved our product and that it was very innovative. We were delighted with his comments :)
After our interview, while everyone else was still nervously waiting for their turn, we had fun going and looking at all the other companies for a few hours. We even got our picture taken by the Liffey Champion photographer :) After a few hours when all the judging was finished, everyone took down their stands and cleared up everything while we waited to here who had been shortlisted. A few groups in our school were shortlisted, and 4 have made it into the final, well done girls :D
The Just Desserts are now preparing for the final and we hope to do well :)
