The Start of the Celebration Blipmeet Week

It’s the start of the Community Celebration Week tomorrow, which goes on until Easter Monday.  Thanks for all of the efforts being made by organisers to make the arrangements.  Please support all of their hard work by joining in. It’s a great opportunity to meet other Blippers and celebrate Blipfoto’s move into community ownership.  We’re really looking forward to hearing about and seeing all of the reports through your journals over the next few days.  Don’t forget to tag any posts about your blipmeet with ‘BigBlipmeet’, so they can easily be found in a blip search.  If you haven’t got involved so far you can check out the latest arrangements on the BlipMeet forum in our help centre.  We urge you to make the effort if you can; we always hear great things about these events, whenever previous blipmeets have taken place.  We’ve summarised the currently listed ones here:

And it's not too late to organise a Blipmeet during the week, just pop over to the forum and put in details of where and when.

Finally, a reminder that we have recently, launched a consultation on membership and advertised for a community director to join us.  The closing date for both of these is 31st March. 

Have a great weekend and we are looking forward to hearing all of your stories of the ‘BigBlipmeet’.
