Create: endeavours in reading, writing, rhythm, blues, art, photography, and biscuits.

This month, we cannot think of anything better than to draw your attention to a CHALLENGE issued by our beloved Editor in Chief, Dmitri.

New Year, new challenge.

Gift-giving is often part of Christmas. The Create team invite h2g2ers to put holiday bounty to good use - in writing. Do you have a product review to share? How about an adventure your gift started for you?

Check it out! A87781585

Dear friends of Create

I am sure you will have already noticed that we're holding an evenings entertainment for everyone to join in. You may want to play the part of a detective and ask the players questions, trying to find the person with the means, the motive and the opportunity to commit the murder.

If you'd like just to watch it all unfold, you will be more than welcome. Full details can be found here: U14997463

Dear Friends of Create,

And any other interested readers. This is a short journal just to keep you in the picture as to the up to date challenges that we have on the go at the moment.

For September only, we have a new opportunity to share recipes, especially traditional family recipes from round the globe. A87769831

For August and for a few more weeks to come, we're still asking you to send in photos of Elton Abroad, A87767257 : we really hope you manage to snap the hamster on his Great Escape.

We're still encouraging Updates of old Entries and Flea Market rescues, and last but not least we've been receiving a lot of photographs for old Entries, some of which are now being added by Matt to the relevant Entry. You can remind yourselves of the details in the Challenge Extra Entry here: A87764746

Please make sure that you claim your qualifying contributor badge or better still more than one badge!

How on earth did it get to be nearly August?

I read on the Create planning page that August was marked as 'Books and Review'. So please add any suggestions for August either here or over in Trello.

All Create volunteers *should have received an invitation to join the Trello Create planning board. Please do so, it's a much easier thing to use than Noesis, and we can keep track of planning far better. It can host images very well, and do a lot more than the Noesis forum ever could.

*If you have not received an email to join, it may be because I've got the wrong contact details for you - you can send me your current email address privately to guideeditorsATh2g2.com.

There is also an important document that all volunteers should read, the link to it can be found both in Noesis Create forum and Trello Create board.
