Just because we have passed the 100,000 signature mark doesn’t mean that handing out leaflets to friends and family and work colleagues, or putting them through letterboxes, isn’t still worthwhile. If anything, knowing that the Petitions Committee will sit on 6 September makes that our new deadline for maximising the number of signatures.
If you are attending the Bird Fair at the end of this week (Friday-Sunday) then you will be able to pick up individual leaflets, or just a few, from a number of stalls. And you will also be able to sign online, at the time, at the Birders Against Wildlife Crime and League Against Cruel Sports stands. Or if you stop me and ask to use my mobile phone, I guess!
In addition though, if you can take away 250 leaflets, or a multiple thereof, to deliver locally to your home then you can pick them up at the BAWC stand throughout the three days (while stocks last). If you know you are coming to the Bird Fair and are sure you want to take away leaflets then an email to me ([email protected]) of the number you would like (in multiples of 250 please) would be helpful but not essential. However, if stocks run out, then they run out! I will order more leaflets on Tuesday lunchtime so please get your requests in to me then if at all possible. Many thanks.
I’ve only got a few hundred leaflets in the house, and they say we have 60,000 signatures (as below!), so I’ll be delivering them locally over the next few days. As a guide, a pack of 250 leaflets takes me just over an hour to deliver in an urban setting with lots of semi-detached houses without too many long garden paths.

I see we are now being accused of using automatic bots to sign and falsify the petition.
While this is just another bit of scandalous straw clutching… it would be a fantastic way of getting free publicity and boosting the signing rate before the 20th Sept.
I think there should be a full public examination of the petition straight away!
Yes, the Bothambot was particularly effective. Mark’s best Recruiting Sergeant.
For a bunch of sportsmen, they really do seem to be remarkably unsporting and very bad losers!
‘Sportsmen’ is a misnomer in my opinion. Cannot see much ‘sport’ involved.
Some idiot on the RPS(UK) site advocated multiple signings and although they were roundly told off by people on that site, well it only takes one to open their big gub and give the Shooting Lobby ammunition (I make no apologies for that pun) to make accusations.
Forgive me for asking a silly question, but do these leaflets have a QR code on them directing smartphone users directly to the petition URL?
Random22 – no they don’t because we (actually I) decided it would increase the cost too much, take up too much space and add to little to their effectiveness. But I may have been wrong. Maybe next time – oh hang on! We don’t need a next time!!!
