Coventry University students are planning to take the entertainment world by storm by organising and promoting their own Garage night in the city.

The event, to be held on Tuesday, will be the first live event organised by BATS Promotions, a company set-up and run by students as part of a new enterprise scheme for graduates.

Students are encouraged to set up and trade as a company. They have a company name, are registered with HSBC, produce an operational business plan and sell shares in their company to raise capital.

Each member of the company is allocated a different function in an area such as sales, personnel and finance. The company must trade for a full year before liquidating its assets in July.

The Garage night, called Darkside, to be held at Club Campbell in Jordan Well, is hoped to be the first in a long line of successful events organised by the company.

BATS Promotions have booked a top line-up of Birmingham DJs for the event, P Money and Ricky E are amongst the headliners.

BATS Promotions is made up of nine enthusiastic students, who are keen to see the event become a success.

Company spokesman Craig Mitchell said:

“We've put in a lot of work and are sure it will be a big success and a good night out for everyone that comes.”

In recognition of their hard work, the Graduate Enterprise management team has approached BATS Promotions to organise their annual social event.

Tickets for Darkside cost £3 and are available on the door.
