Dublin Mini Maker Faire 2014 - July 26th

[Padraic]

Will someone take the reins on this and answer the open call for entries? It's not too hard to organise really. I hope one of the lads involved last year will be in a position to lead the way this year! The deadline for entries is May 11th and we were told we'd be very welcome again this year!

Really enjoyed this event last year -

Just need to double check that I can box off that day.

Hi there

Would love to do this again this year but unfortunately will be on holiday while it is on

There was huge interest from the public last year and whoever runs with this I would prepare some way of signing people up to the NHC. Even if it was something as simple as application forms.

I agree, this was a bit of a failing for us on the day, we should really have recruited a lot more members on the day, we had loads of visitors showing an interest in our club but were unable to convert that into members.

I was thinking that if we had a tablet (or two) and access to WiFi we could get people to sign up via the membership page. Maybe include the option of "Payment taken in cash" if people don't want to use their credit card details on a public network.

You can include me as a volunteer, unfortunately I can't take the reins because I am absolutely slammed and don't expect things to slacken off until 2015.

Are we talking registrations (free) or signed up membership(€10)?

Either way you don't need wifi!

1. pencil and paper to record: Name, E-mail, online name and any other details we care to ask/they are prepared to give

or

2. Exel spreadsheet to capture the above data

Then after the event an admin inputs the data to the system and sends an e-mail to the person welcomming them to the club.

If people want to pay on the day its a tenner in cash. No cash? Just register and then pay online when you convert to full membership

Lets keep this simples!

[Padraic]

It doesn't really take much organising, really just a matter of filling out a form and turning up to a couple of meet and greet sessions. (last year I only made it to one of the meet and greet sessions)

I think a minimum of 4 people manning the stand should do the trick but 8 would be an ideal number.

I should be back from my holliers and really enjoyed this event last year.
I wouldnt want to put people off volunteering with the whole membership thing.
The objective here is to promote homebrew, promote the club and have some fun - not a recruitment drive.
If people like it - they will sign up.

Extract brewing is probably the finest exposition of this art. Trust me, I'm a Doctor and an extract brewer  (Ok, so I'm not really a Doctor  )
