Atmosphere08

A major hollar of thanks to Al and his team for laying on an incredible event, well organised fun, no hassle and they even managed to book the right Weather and tides for maximum enjoyment!! I have stuck a small youtube vid of the freeflyzone at the bottom of the blog. As far as my small contribution was concerned I have to say it was a humbling experience. I went along hoping to come away with 1 signature and a sore patch on my backside from all the scratching. Instead I was overwhelmed by the comments of support, the amount of slips completed (34) and general proactive attitude of everyone I spoke to. So a huge thanks to all of you who took time away from beer and kites to chat and sign up. E.S from Bishops Stortford you forgot to put your email address down so please can you go online and sign the petition. There has also been an increase in the rate of signing today, so I am hoping that the combined effort should take us into the dizzy heights of the top 100 most signed petitions, which will be a huge show of support and significance. I thought it might be interesting for you to see how far the canoeists got with their effort and the response that they got. I hope that we get an equally proactive response. (http://www.pm.gov.uk/output/page14435.asp ). Anyway Keep the Faith and keep signing we've only a little over a month to go now.

News just in: Email from Peter Ainsworth MP's office apologising for the lack of response from Hilary Benn MP's they have followed up and are hoping for a response.
