Well thanks to Julie Graham & Lisa Brown they have somehow convinced me to conduct 2 mock C/Ps whilst I am in New Zealand. The first will be held in Christchurch & the 2nd in Auckland. Be sure you let your consultants know where & when. Don’t worry about RSVPs to me.I also suggest that you send any prospects along and I will be more than happy to chat to them before or after the C.Ps (Ill have application forms there ready!)Monday 19th MayLouise Johnston236 Trent RdRD 6Christchurch (about 20 minutes out of Christchurch)7.00pm sharp.Wednesday 21st MayStacey Connor3L Laxon TereceNew MarketAuckland 10507.00pm sharp.

Savour New Zealand
Savour has come and gone and all the effort we did put in did bring mixed results. As it turned out most of the attendees were not our target audience so were not able to recruit the number we had hoped for, however we did make some very valuable contacts and develop new relationships with a variety of Companies including American Express, Fisher & Paykel The Potato board of New Zealand, Jalon Communications to name a few. All of these will join with us in a variety of ways as we move forward in New Zealand.
All the Celebrity Chefs told us they loved our product and at each of their presentations throughout the three days of the event The Chefs Toolbox was the only sponsor actually named and talked about.
Thank you to Rhonda Ross and Cath Jetter for your effort over the three days of the event.
Pretty much all the food writers who count in NZ were at the event and they all now have a very favourable impression of TCT and our product.

Netball New Zealand
This week Chris Chandler, Samantha Farham and myself presented to all the Regional Managers at their half yearly meeting. We were able to meet the 4 Managers from the South Island as well as a couple from the North Island who we hadn't managed to meet with prior to this. They have all expressed interest in holding group meetings going forward. We currently have a number of group meetings on the calender for late May and into June and we anticipate more bookings being made as soon as possible. We will update as early as possible going forward.

Operations
We now have a completed delivery system in place so operationally we are all go! We are still to get the shopping cart on the website to enable web orders. We don't have a completion date for this as yet, we will advise you as soon as we know a completion date.

Next update Friday 16th May 2008
