Maildistiller Get Geeky For Red Nose Day

Red nose day on Friday 15^th March was absolutely geektastic at the Northern Ireland Science Park (NISP) this year. We had the best geek competition, Segway races, and even a couple of comedians!

The Maildistiller team had a great time raising money and helping to organise the “fun for funds” day with NISP. Creating the geek packs and getting everyone excited for the science park’s Comic relief event was great craic.

We encouraged the science park tenants to dress up and “get their geek on” for comic relief. And also gave out “geek packs” and how to find your inner geek tips to help everyone get in the spirit.

We chose Sync NI’s Emma to judge the ‘Best Dressed Geek’ competition. The first prize winner of an Amazon Kindle Fire was NISP’s Roberta and for the runner up, Sylvia from Kana, received an iTunes vouchers. 

The Red Nose Day Line-up

• We started the day with a relaxing coffee and cookies morning in the iconic Pump-House building beside the Titanic Dock. The tenants and other local companies were able to do some networking and catch up.

• Then over lunch time, Segway racing took place in the Titanic Docks where our very own Danielle stepped up to represent the Maildistiller team.

• The ‘Kana Pub Kwiz’ was in full swing in the afternoon with sixteen companies joining in the fun and competing for first place (and last place) trophies. This was followed by a raffle and an auction, where Maildistiller’s Josh came so close to getting a signed Spurs top. 

• After a day of geektastic fun, everyone was invited to enjoy an evening of drinks, games and a few hours of comedy entertainment. The tenants were able to show support for comic relief by watching local comedy talent from George Firehorse and Adam Laughlin.

We raised around £2,000 from all the events and this money will go towards transforming the lives of countless people, both in the UK and across Africa.

We really appreciate all the support of everyone that took part and donated on Red Nose Day. Thank you to the Northern Ireland Science Park tenants for supporting the cause and helping us to put on an amazing day for charity!
