Hi,

Please would you all spare a moment to help the Donkey Sanctuary? It will cost no more than that but the sanctuary could benefit immensely if Judy's rescue centre gets the most votes.

To explain: Pavo is a well known brand of Dutch food suppliers. They asked their clients to recommend their favorite equine charitiy. CDR was put on the short list of 5 charities. All we ask you to do is look at the charity list and vote for the one you think the most deserving is. Hopefully you will chose CDR. If CDR comes out on top the charity wins 1000 euros. Please take the time to vote, although it is in Dutch it is very straight forward.

Go to
this link to Pavo s site. and scroll down the page.

Please let me know if you have problems and thank you very much for your time!

Julia

I have no idea! I have been out most of the day and found three emails about this and so cobbled Judy's text with some of my own in order to get this up as soon as possible. I didn't notice any "small print." I will ask Angela who forwarded them on to me.

Thanks everyone who has voted so far, we really appreciate it.

I've just voted as well. But as far as I do understand it (my Dutch is not very good, lol), 500 votes is the maximum and they do not count votes above 500.

I had a read through and I clicked again on CDR to vote. It said that the vote didn't count because the maximum number of votes that can be cast in the poll (500) had been reached. At least I think that is what it says.

Maybe that means Judy has won? It does say the poll is still open though. I wonder what happes if we click on another link. I will try voting for the one with least votes and see what message comes up.

It's 'Ctrl', 'Alt' and '4' on my keyboard, all pressed together. Try 'Ctrl', 'Alt' and whichever number key shows the '€' sign on your keyboard.
I read the opening post then clicked on the link to vote straight away. Perhaps I should have read the rest of the thread first. Hope the money comes through. Do we know who nominated the donkey sanctuary? Whoever it was deserves a thank you.

Hi all,

I just read through the site of PAVO. They state that they never expected so many votes. It was designed to have a maximum of 500 votes. All votes over the 500-limit will be counted but not displayed in the results.

As soon as the 500-limit is reached the counter will be reset to 0. But the overall score will be counted. So as it now states 412, the final result will be 912.

SO KEEP VOTING. WE ARE IN THE LEAD.

It does not say when the voting will be stopped.

Voting from the same computer again is of no use, it recognises the IP-adress. I just tried to vote again and it says : Je hebt al op deze vraag gestemd!! Which translates to "you already voted".



PAVO is a producer of food for horses.

Likewise just voted and I don't even like donkeys, but prefer them to horses and certainly prefer them to Stichting t'Olde Manegepeerd, (whatever they are)

First list shows we are ahead but second shows we are trailing by a bit, no idea which is true, but that's the Dutch for you I suppose........

Eco,

As I explained before, they do the counting in blocks of 500, as the system was designed for a maximum of 500 votes and they got more votes then expected.

't Olde Manegepeerd means "the old riding-stable horse".

It's double Dutch to me so perhaps my vote counts twice? Talking of animals, just to digress, some years ago we were in Skiathos late season. Earlier they had terrible fires nearby and all over Greece. We walked up to the local monastery and next door was a dog sanctuary run by Brits ( what else ) They told us during the fires they let all the dogs run free and afterwards they all came back. Oh, and the little old Greek lady serving coffee at the monastery was wearing wellies in spite of 80 plus temp. Love it.

Bruce... although I've never been known to be wrong,I might be on this occasion...... What I think you do is add the total on the first page (which only went to 500 votes) to the totals on the second page to get the complete figure.

Seems The Stichting t'Olde Manegepeerds are nearly past us though, maybe using drugs or somfin, we need a bit of a tailwind, has this topic been sent to the other Greek forums or the German doggy thing or the one from Cyprus or or ??

I know what you mean, it is bringing out the gambler (or the bookie!) in me!

I am hoping this has been sent to several forums. Anyone who is a member of any other, feel free to pass it on, please!

As to when it finishes, I don't know! I just get asked to do these things and all I knwo is that it runs for a month. I hope that doesn't mean all of February, it will be hellish!

Could someone please post this topic on the Arillas Forum. www.arillas.com

It's a rather frustrating problem which I've not been able to resolve yet but I've had trouble logging into the Arillas forum otherwise I would have posted the message myself. There are a good number of members who are genuinely interested in the Donkey Sanctuary and would happily cast their vote.

Thanks,

Eileen.

Hi,

I just tried to do it for you but when I joined it kept asking me for the password even though I had put it in.

Could someone else try please?

Sensing the inevitable (save for a miracle....),itis good to knowe that a few old horses more will be saved through Stichting t'Olde Manegepeerd instead of a few more donkeys on Corfu, nice if all were saved but then the world might just have too many horses and donkeys at the moment.......

I have voted and e-mailed my friends so they can vote as well.
We never made it to the CDR last year as time was short and we had extended family with us.
This year its just us 4 with 2 weeks and not much money so we will be over at least one day and will do what we can to help.

The link has now been sent out to our AAWF supporters by email so hopefully that will pull in a few more votes.

If you recieved the email but had already voted, please don't vote again. As Jan says, it won't count - unless of course, you can do it from another address.

They seem to be pulling back a little. Judy needs you all to vote NOW!! I managed to get a couple of votes in by disconnecting from the internet. (reboot router)You often then get a different IP Address when it reconnects. On dial-up you get a new IP every time you dial in.

Since 7am this morning the Donkeys have had 103 votes against 37 for t'Olde Manegepeerd although t'Olde Manegepeerd did well this afternoon. Another day like that will put the donkeys very very close. Thanks for all your efforts everyone.

One thing, this afternoon the Stichting t'Olde Manegepeerds were romping away with it but they ran out of steam and now we're only 11 votes behind so I suppose that's a good sign.

Anyone know a good computer hacker?

Someone will think of something to increase our votes or to nobble the Managepeerds + we got our spy (Jan) doing his stuff.....

Heres a translated post from the site of our opposition,i used an online translation site so maybe it's not too good, but if you read into it, it possibly says you can vote once a minute, have a look and see what you make of it....


I need your help. There is a good targets action for 5 targets in the Netherlands. The winner gets 1000 Euros. I would want to ask you to vote on the olde manegepeerd. The olde manegepeerd is for the manegepaardjes that no longer can work but yet well well of theirs 's old day can enjoy. Unfortunately the olde has well a little financial problems and fear to must their doors for the end of this year close!! What lifted there then with all the horses that it stand now?? They can use the money of this action thus good.

It lasts to not to vote once a minute. I gratefully would be you all very and the horses naturally also!!

It gets better and better, the lead is now 872 votes. To put things into perspective, the 872 vote lead is more than 66% of the total votes of our nearest rival.

This is no reason for you not to vote, each and every vote is needed. We have rallied the troops on this and other forums. They could well do the same and make a late surge.

Judie and the Corfu Donkey Rescue will be forever grateful to you if your vote helped them secure the 1000 € prize pot.

Thank you to all those that have already voted. For those that have not done so, it will take but a minute and secure the future of the donkeys.

Sorry for getting the spelling wrong, the other option would be De Hoge Veluwe.The undergrowth there would not be very nourishing. I had friends who lived in the area of Alteveer, Noord-Arnhem.

Yammas, Colin.

   As each day goes by things get better. The CDR now has 55% of the vote, 950 more than our nearest rival. Just to remind you that the vote does not end until 15th March. Keep on voting and with a little luck in the next few days we can increase our lead to over 1000 votes.   

Yammas, Colin.

Certainly hope so. Have got quite a few Facebook friends involved now - and asked them to pass it on to their friends, so here's hoping the momentum keeps going our way

    The CDR prize stallion MILLENNIUM has put on a spurt and is now over 1000 votes in the lead. Will his stable mate MILLENNIUM 2 take over the lead and live up to his name?

    MILLENNIUM 2 is now taking up the running, the jockey is wearing the AGNI colours. Could it be Nathan in the saddle? No way, Eleni's cooking is so good, Nathan could never make the weight.

   This is not a handicap race but did the other stables remember to remove their entrants from the carts?   

   The last thing we require now is a stewards inquiry and a hint that the rest of the field was nobbled.

   Just because we are in the lead, do not sit back, your vote is still needed.


Yammas, Colin.

Slowly catching up with the donkeys now. With nearly 4 weeks to go we need to stay in front. Come on everyone, send it to everyone in your address book.

A great idea but I am not sure that can be done. Graham may know. However, if it could, the moderators wouldn't be able to do it. Only Nathan can fix things like that!

Hi yes I have done it too, and I hope this will make some sort of difference to it- there is so much hope there.

   As of this morning the lead is down to 965 votes. We must keep the votes comming in.

   On another forum which I work on, I started a new thread about the CDR and "Announced" it. This meant the post was e-mailed to ALL members.

   Maybe ADMIN on this site who have access to the e-maill address database could do a similar thing.

Yammas, Colin.

Hi all, just thought I would check our computers at work and they all seem to have different "addresses" - I tested someone else's computer first and it definitely accepted the vote even though I had already voted on mine. Sent round an email at lunchtime to about 20 colleagues and already had emails back saying they've voted and are going to vote from home too.

Well done to everyone for keeping up the momentum on this!

   Judie at the CDR has been very busy but informed a friend that she would send an E-mail to everyone on her support list urging them to vote. This could be the reason for the spurt.

Yammas, Colin.

We were at the donkeys yesterday neutering stray cats. Judy is very greatfull for all your support. She was going to post but lost her password. Hopefully we will hear from here soon.

   Have the trainers of the Corfu Donkeys been putting E-numbers in their feed? Could there be a stewards enquiry as to why the Corfu Donkeys have "ZIPPED" into a lead so quickly. I expect that Judy at the CDR has found some spare time to e-mail her supporters and urged them to vote for the CDR.

   It has been many days since the CDR has had a lead of 1000+ votes over it's nearest rival. I have just checked the latest voting, at 18:30 GMT the CDR are ahead of their nearest rival by an amazing 1124 votes. Where can I obtain some of those E-numbers to put on my breakfast cereal?

    Well done to all those members who have voted for the CDR and I urge anyone that has not voted yet to do so.   

This is not just from me, but JUDY, the Donkeys and all their supporters.

Yammas, Colin.

A few people we know hae been holding back for the final run in. Several people including Judie sent out the message a couple of days ago and instead of falling back by 30 votes a day as we have been lately we are now steaming ahead by going 80 vote in front every day
