recap-march.jpgHey guys,

 

what a month this has been. So much happened on the O2 Community and once you read our list you will know what we are talking about. You guys have been busy and to honour this we do a monthly recap.

 

 

Below is just a sample of all the content we had on here. And it is all because of you.

 

It's not too late to take part in any of the below conversations if you missed them earlier, and feel free to drop a note below on what topics were your favourites from March.

The Talents

Drumming for the O2 community by @liggerz87 

One of our members seems to be working on a Community soundtrack, we can only support this. Look at the drumming skills. The only thing we aren’t sure about? This might be a Ratatouille situation and someone else playing those drums.

If you are into the finer things in life and poetry then this is the place to go...

 

The Discussions

 

Earth Hour 🌎

This annual event is held globally to remind people of the importance of our planet through encouraging individuals, communities and businesses to turn off their lights for one hour in support of nature and as a commitment to our planet.

 

Movies in March

So if it is one thing we all love it is movies. Not only did we have our Monthly Movie Thread with all the films you should watch but it has also become very obvious that super hero are your absolute favourites. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier discussion thread is for the super fans. It does not stop there though. Did you see the Wanda Vision finale? Share your thoughts.

 

The Events

Happy St Patrick's Day

It’s not easy being green, unless it is St Patricks Day…

 

Happy Mother’s Day!

Yes, this was in March. We honoured the most special women in our lives and if you missed it, you should have browsed the Community a bit more…

 

World Wildlife Day 🐋

It was World Wildlife Day! And one of our favourite ways to celebrate the spectacular world outside our doorstep is through nature photography competitions such as ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year’.

HAHA yes @Cleoriff @Mi-Amigo @TheresaV I left it out because it was mostly in April - I ended up doing the April Fools only because it was posted on the 31st

Or with hindsight, maybe that will fit nicely into April recap @Mi-Amigo 

One month has pretty much been the same with lockdown....rofl


I think that's why it's missing from this one @Cleoriff because most of it was in April! But now we can look forward to the next recap, remembering Easter Week and the glorious things you all did for it! 


Yes I jumped the gun a bit @TheresaV ...probably due to some things starting on the 31st etc. Ignore me. I'm sure my brain will get back into gear soon... LOL


Hahaha no worries @Cleoriff, it technically started in March so you are right! But I do think we all need the weekend wink I know I sure do sweat_smile
