We arrived in Naas at about 9.30 and set up our stand. It improved greatly since the regionals. There was 27 companies altogether. A's , B's and C's rotated again from the stand to task cards to discussion groups.

First me and Jessica were on the stand and we got 2 judges- quality and marketing. We thought they went really well and other people seemed impressed too.

We then went around with our task cards for the next hour and got to see the competition ;) There was some really good companies and some strange ones. One company's company was literally buying slaughtering and selling turkeys and chickens! :/ They even had 3 live chicks and we were told we could name them but they were going to be murdered eventually. Me and Jess were not happy :L. For the 3rd hour we had the discussion groups. For lunch we had sausages/chicken goujons and chips.

Then it was time for the awards ceremony. We didn't want to get our hopes up but we were delighted when we won 3rd prize for quality out of Ireland :)

It was a fun day.
