[Announcement‌] 😎‌ Summer 2022 on the O2 Community 😎‌

[RafaC]

Hi everybody 🌅

August's just a stone's throw away so we thought that it'd be better to start planning this year's Summer on the O2 Community activities (now live here) already so that we can all enjoy them throughout midsummer.

A little bird told me that last year was a blast, so we will try our best to keep up with the high level of fun.

If you want to join us on that enjoyable mission, we would love to hear from you! 😊

Post a reply on this topic and/or if you prefer, send us community managers (@RafaC and @lewys-gp  - not @Martin-O2 as he's on annual leave for this week and the next) a DM and we can start to organise, put it on the calendar (Summer events on the community are going to run from the first till the last day of August) and see who's going to take care of what. 

You can pick any of the below suggestions (whilst also selecting a date) or if you have something in mind that is not listed on this topic, please share with us your ideas, they are very welcome! Think games, discussions, stories, recommendations and more.💡

Thank you @RafaC and @lewys-gp 

Love the suggestions and hope members will come forward to run and/or take part as there will be something for everyone.

I’m very new to the community and a little unsure what the O2 Summer of Fun entails but that said if it’s just posting some jokes, poems, stories and games over the month of August I’d be keen to join in. Thanks.

[Cleoriff]

Hi @Comben 

That sounds great. Maybe @RafaC or @lewys-gp  can chat with you via Private message and and find something to suit the theme.

Whatever it is, I'll be sure to join in. 😉

[Comben]

Nice one thank you.
Maybe even riddles I personally love them and even had a quick look on the community pages to see if people had posted any riddles in the off topic section.

[RafaC]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo, glad you love the suggestions. PM received 😉 

[RafaC]

Hey @Comben glad to hear that you're keen to join in our summer special event here in the O2 community!
I will PM you now so we can discuss your really good idea about running a riddles topic. 

Thanks for tagging us @Cleoriff 😊
