I made it!

It was a real roller-coaster ride getting onto the council. Once the first preference votes were counted I really didn't think I was going to make it. With only 77 first preference votes it placed me in 11th place.

Thankfully once Don Thwaites and Andrew Keddie's quotas were broken up things started to look brighter. I moved from 11th to 8th. Brian Inder, Coralanne Walker and I tussled for 7th and 8th place. I finally ended up being 7th.

So this is how the new council looks:

Mayor: Don Thwaites
Deputy Mayor: John Deverell
Councillor: Andrew Keddie
Councillor: Penny Lane
Councillor: Annie Willock
Councillor: Peter Cooper
Councillor: Jan Rootes
Councillor: Tim Wilson 
Councillor: Coralanne Walker

We have our first induction tomorrow night. Get to meet the other councillors and check out the lay of the land.
