The Spinning Gold Team gathered at Fifis studio...all a bit nervous...we had tested and tweaked and tested everything to make sure it all worked. We gathered around the computer....
Fifi put up the link five minutes early because we were so nervous and we couldn't wait any more....
I put up the live spreadsheet that recorded the registrations and we waited,
NOT FOR LONG.
The first registration came in 30 seconds! and it was all go from then on....
By 10:30 when I left the studio there was only 6 spaces left...
I didn't sleep much...I was going over and over the numbers making sure I hadn't missed any double registrations and there were a few of those....people were so keen....
This morning at 8 am there were only 3 spaces left....
By 9:30 am it was over. We were full.....and now we are dealing with the waiting list.....
Fifi and I have spent the morning replying to emails....
At some point today or in the next few days we have to send Congratulations emails to everybody who made it.
But we (The Fabulous Spinning Gold Team) are so pleased and proud to have such support for our conference.
Tomorrow it the turn of the finalists in the NZ Post Book Awards!
Three members of our team will be at the awards. Quite a few of our conference presenters will be there too.
Good Luck Everybody!
