They live in Australia too, it is the morning for them so they may be unable to vote. What are the results currently?

Woah - very low voting turnout. I think people just don’t think voting in a normal vote like this is worth it when it really is. In the future we should do something about this (notifying people on their profile?) I wouldn’t say this is unusual as almost all of our votes have had extremely low turnouts.

I updated the list of people with profile notifications on Friday my time so we can now easily use that to tell people of things like this.

Hi! As you know, I think that NSNP (SPA's New Shop Nurturing Program) is brilliant but it's not currently active. I would like this to change. I also think that it needs to be more community-led. So I have set you all a sort if challenge:

Our challenge is to make 10 NSNP shops to support potential shop owners and bring new members to SPA who wouldn't get the chance otherwise. We need to give them banners, branding, BBCode and supportive advice to help their shop become successful.

In this challenge we will need all the help that we can get so even if you dont fit any of the things needed you can still help out with ideas, suggestions and loads more.
We are particularly looking for:
• People or shops for banner and design
• People or shops for ideas
• People or shops for BBCode
• SPA hub helpers to individually support shops when they start up (sign up now!)
Please let me know if you can help in any way.

Good luck, SPAineers - I know you can do it if we work together!
