Overall, we thought the day ran smoothly, with a large amount of people confessing, and our successful stall set up contributed to this result.
From set up the day before the Market, we had our stall layout planned and understood by every group member, which made for an effective set up. The washing line turned out great, with the concrete bases inclosed in cardboard boxes, lined with rubbish bags. As pointed out by the facilitators, we needed to be extra cautious with putting concrete straight onto the Great Hall floors.
On the morning of the Market, we were ready for our pitch, deciding it would be more effective to have two people explaining our stall, while the rest interacted with steps of the demonstrations. From what we saw, the tutors were happy with what we had achieved, and how far our concept had grown from our initial 'Grotto/Garden Confessions'.
Throughout the day, we had a maximum of 2 people at the stall at one time; this was agreed as a group to try our best to encourage (not scare away!) potential confessors. With our stall layout, people who interacted with the stall easily understood where to go, and what to do. It was great to see some students reading the confessions, and then coming and contributing their own.
