    Percy .... exciting eh

    I have an idea

    Seeing Heartland obviously not interested in doing the micro lending bit as part of their 'community'/ social commitment I reckon that you should suggest at the ASM that they get into growing rata trees .... helping Project Crimson

    Great marketing ploy to potential term depositors , especially the young, could be along the lines of Invest with Heartland and watch your savings grow like the venerable Rata" ... for every $x in the Rata Special Rate TD we'll plant Y Rata

    I'll leave it up to you to bring up at the ASM ... please

    Don't know if I will be bringing up anything at the AGM.
    Last year I learnt so much just listening and watching the presentations.
    They spell everything they are doing,simply and fully.
    They lay out a clear path as to where they intend to go.
    I will listen carefully to see if they mention any intentions of community/social participation.
    Am reading "Ready Fire Aim,The Mainfreight Story"by Keith Davies isbn 978177532903.Excellent community/social commitment.

    You are fretting over this too much for your own good, and if percy has any hair, he is tearing it out.....rapidly, and paper tiger is tearing himself to shreds too.

    bury the bone in your back garden and move on.
    Well said Xerof. Very good advice indeed.

I h- aa-vv-ee seen customers inside the door for the FIRST time!!!. In fact an elderly couple were pressed against a counter(note sign above counter"we will hold you up". The teller looked relieved and animated.

    Go in and talk to the staff.
    Tell them you are a share holder.
    Ask how they do most of their business as you don't see many customers in the bank as you walk past?
    Are HNZ a good firm to work for.?
    Do they own HNZ shares?

    Last time I checked there were no cows in Tauranga? But yes, good homework set from Percy. Please execute and report back.
