The Christchurch A&P Show

The pressure is on Auckland as Christchurch takes the award for most signatures collected at one time!

A huge thanks to our excellent team.  We were especially impressed by four young ladies, who hadn't done this sort of thing before, but they launched themselves into it without any hesitation.  Impressed doesn't do it justice, they had the arguments down to a T, calling out to people who were walking past and also getting out into the crowd with clipboards.  You guys know who you are - so thanks heaps for your effort there!

Wednesday: 680 signatures
Thursday:    2,020 signatures
Friday:        2,910 signatures

Total for the A&P Show was 5,610.  We smashed the record for all of New Zealand - thanks so much to you guys who made it happen.  We went from needing 80,000 signatures to needing about 74,000 in just three days, absolutely spectacular effort!

The bizzare thing about it was that our stand was right next to the Green Party!

Below are a few photos from the campaign at the Christchurch A&P Show.
