[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.💡

Hey @RafaC thanks for the message to link me over to this thread.

Be interested in the photography.... Maybe a couple of weeks and twice per week, I can set the theme for the days, unless something in mind already.
