But Liberal Democrats arrived, and kept on arriving.
Dogs and babies joined in.
There were ponchos (modelled by our wonderful candidate, Sarah Olney, and Chris Lovell) …
… and cake.
They put up stakeboards.
They delivered leaflets and canvassed.
By the end of Saturday James was on course to reach that target. No wonder he was still looking chirpy.
Celebrations followed at #LibDemPint in Richmond, with Tim Farron, Mark Pack, new member Jay Dias (one to watch …) and, of course, Sarah Olney.
But the weekend isn't over and we haven't got to the magic 1000 yet.
So make James, Sarah and Richmond Park Lib Dems smile again today by joining them. Just turn up at either of the two HQs between 10am and 9pm.
110 Canbury Park Road, London, KT2 6JZ (closest station, Kingston)
65a Sheen Lane, Mortlake, SW14 8AD (closest station, Mortlake)
If you can't make it this weekend, then the HQs are open every day until polling day between 10am and 9pm.
