Nominations for Theme Park Event challenge

[Carolien]

Since so many people have commented on the interesting themes nominated for the Theme Park Year Challenge, we're going to extend it to a number of smaller event challenges at the same time.

We'll select the most popular themes and develop them as a series of smaller event challenges over the next 12 months. Hopefully it will enable more of us to complete the overall challenge. It will also create some ongoing excitement for the challenge junkies in the group.

Please nominate your 8 favourite themes from the year challenge list. If you missed the Year Challenge post, hop over to get an idea of the overall challenge here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

You are allowed to vote for up to 8 themes - one vote per theme.

I'll tally the votes on 5 November, select the first themes and ask for tasks so that we can start the challenge on 15 November.

I just realized because not all tasks are going to make it through, you can just take my nominations off the list and that should be fine?

[Lu]

@Carolien - Lauren has updated the themes with my changed ones and one more. Should I change my vote to reflect them or are we just going to vote from the above list?

[Carolien]

I've updated the list above, just change your nominations please.

[Lu]

Perfect, thank you! I will update mine soon :)

I'll include this in the 1st of the month group msg. So more people can vote :)

[Carolien]

Yes, please I was going to ask you to do that. We need a few more nominations (otherwise we will have 4 themes with two votes each and 20 others with one vote each!)
