General discussion about problem with getting official results. The papers have provisional results a day or two after the election and some councils publish them on their websites but difficult to get full and accurate coverage.
Since there are a large number of races results should be fairly short for most, just listing winners
Suggested a "Top 50" list be created to give people something to aim for. Especially existing objects that they can photograph themselves
Some discussion about getting photographs of people. Simon Lyall mentioned he was going to email the majority of NZ MPs asking for a photo. Problems getting photos of past subjects ( photograph in copyright, difficulty getting image released or finding person to contact).
Creation of photo request template to send to people to request photographs.
Papers past has some photographs and cartoons (see
1907 in New Zealand ) that may be suitable for articles.
