The Petition!

[Mom]

I am the lucky recipient of the signed forms of the Cheese Cutter Petition!!

I guess I will be busy over the next little while counting and collating the signatures! Wish me luck!!

Can't wait to see how many signatures we actually have.

Watch this space!!

Well done, you, for putting your hand up for this one!!

We still have some copies here, still getting signatures.....

[Nasty]

ours is in the post today I think there is 100+ signatures there.

[Mom]

Thanks guys!

Day 1 and I am 55 pages into the count! Just as well I have served a bit of time doing data entry is all I can say

I have one whole page here that has no contact information on it and most likely will not be counted as valid. Some names are illegible and some have only given a first name.

Most important:

A first and last name printed legibly, a contact telephone number or email address, and a signature!

Post them to the address on the bottom of the forms?

Yes please, someone is clearing the box daily, they will eventually find the way to my desk for inputting. Set my alarm early this morning managed to get another 30 pages in before the sun came up!

thanks for giving your time for such an important cause. what goes round comes round they say. cheers

[Mom]

Gahhh!!!!!!

I am plugging away here entering the petition and have across this smart entry giving the contact details as "666", couple of pages back the contact was "camp". Give me strength!

EDIT: In fact on page 127, out of 12 people that have signed the page, only 6 entries will be able to be taken into the count.

[The Pastor]

whats the count currently at?

[Mom]

I am on line 1382 of my spreadsheet at the moment. I have entered probably half of the signed sheets I have received. Have not done any verifications yet, and there are many invalid entries that will have to be removed prior to the count.

Still waiting to get the online ones as well, at least they wont have double ups as the table is set up to not allow repeated entries but, they will still have to be compared to the written entries though. Big job this one, it wont happen over night, but it will happen!

Tsk, tsk! LOL Pm me your addy I will send you a heap of petition forms to collect signatures! Are you close enough to any of the ride/s stop points to come along and say hi?

[Mom]

Well, that was a bit of a marathon to be fair, but I have finally finished entering all the signatures on paper to date.

I have 2,396 lines on my spreadsheet. Not all of these entries will be valid sadly.

There is a heap of work ahead of us to get enough signatures to even get a second glance at the level that counts!

Thank you so much to the people that have taken the time to sign our petition!

Thank you to all of you that are working hard to get this petition out there!

Bring it on!! I am a sucker for punishment!!

I took a few petition forms along to Taupo yesterday.
I got 15 pages signed...four people refused to sign!
The last time I went to Taupo I got 19 pages signed.
I am now issuing a challenge to the rest of you...match my total or better still, better it!!
The combined total of pages signed from our household is in excess of 60 pages! That does not count roping HB KBers in to help us!
