JANUARY 2019
Welcome to January's House Newsletter.
Happy New Year!!!
So what is the new year bringing to The Great Boolprop Olympics?
Quite a few changes, that we hope you will enjoy.
Firstly, the new year has the mod squad spring cleaning and redecorating!!
You might have already noticed, all of the TGBO threads are being given a new lease of life ...
they are being updated, refreshed and redecorated. Livvie doing an awesome job making the wonderful new banners that now decorate all the TGBO threads!!
And while I am on the subject of Livvie, as you are probably already aware,
she has stepped out of her House and is now helping me (and Blams) to organise all of the TGBO Houses and seasonal events.
So you now have the two of us trampling all over the houses.
We will both be rotating around the houses in turn, each month, donating our time and points.
Our Rota is on the notice board, so you know when we are landing in your house,
and we both will not be landing on you at the same time.
That said, Livvie and Julie are now taking responsibility for two houses each.
Livvie will be looking after Motherlode and Smustle, while Julie will be looking after Llama and Woohoo.
Blams will be ruling the roost in House Plumbob.
So if any house members have any house related problems or question, you know who to go to.
A few changes that are being made from this month going forward ...
1. The New Points and Star Lottery
We will now be hosting a lottery which gives you the chance to win stars as well as points.
And everyone is a winner in this game. You will receive something every time you enter,
but what, that all depends on what colour you chose and where the wheel stops!
The new points and stars lottery, will be a fortnightly game. The draws will take place on the 15th and 30th of each month
so you have from the 1st-14th and the 15th-29th to get yourself entered into the draw.
The new lottery can be found in the The Great Boolprop Olympics forum
and the first of our January lottery's is here ... so don't forget to enter!!
2. Suprise Star thread
We now have a surprise stars thread, which will work exactly like the surprise points thread.
If you can catch it while it is open, post and you will earn yourself a members star.
Your new star will then be added to your star chart when the thread is locked up again.
So keep your eyes peeled for this thread being unlocked!!
3. House Member of the Month
You now have two sets of eyes watching you
but in a good way!!We are on the look out for "stand out" House Members, who deserve to have their name up in lights.
House Members who excell, shine and maybe go that extra mile for their house.
Could that be you??!
This award will not necessarily be given out every month, just when someone stands out
who we feel needs a little special attention.
The winners of House Member of the Month, will win a House star for their house, and a Pulper star from themselves.
There is also this special medal
for the lucky winners.4. Tag Central.
We now have a new Tag Central section sitting in the "Showcase" forum.
Pop in and grab yourself a thread to store your tags on. Show them off or just keep them as a reminder of what you have.
It makes it easier to find them to use at another time in the year, especially the seasonal ones.
5. Request-able Tags
A request-able tag thread is planned to appear in Tag Central for February.
Coming in February ...
of course, we have the Valentines 2019 events, which we will be kicking off on the 1st February,
so you have those to look forward to.
During the Valentines event, we will be having two more games of Bingo.
Two games that will last two weeks each.
Before the end of January a new Bingo thread will appear in the events section.
This is for members who want to play, so they can sign up,
giving us time to get your bingo cards made up for the game that starts on the 1st February.

December Chat-a-thon
This is how the houses did in the December Chat-a-thon ....

Well done to House Llama who won the December Chat-a-thon, in style!!! The points for this event have already been added to your January scorecards.
December Check in
Again the check in's went very well,
so much so, that we have decided to keep it as a regular monthly activity for a while.
Some house members, myself included, have quickly grown to have checking in each day become a habit,
and even missed it for the few days that there were no check in threads.
To make it worth your while, we are giving you points and stars from doing your daily check ins.
At the end of each month, your house will receive 1 point for every check in made.
Every participating house member will receive a members star for every 7 check ins,
AND if you managed to check in every day of the month, you will recieve a pulper star.
The points for your December check ins have already been added to your January scorecards!
