It's nice to see a new heading added to the list but I just thought I'd say that I am surprised it's not called "Special Occassions" or something similar. We would then be able to use the thread to it's fullest all year round. We could post about Christmas, Valentines menus, ideas on what to do for our Parents on Mothers and Fathers Day, Easter recipes etc. People could ask and suggest things they are doing for a special birthday or an engagement party. They could ask or give suggestions on the food, the decor, pressie ideas for Weddings and all sorts.

Just a thought.

What a good idea mammaChef, Then as you say we could use it all year around

Good idea MammaChef I think that there was someone asking about Halloween so this could be a place to ask the questions, well thought!

touche!!!

Great idea mammachef!

What an excellent idea! The Christmas thread will be rather redundant come 26th December so an Occasions thread would be brilliant.

Thanks guys

lets see if the gods at the website like the idea.

well if no one else agrees, then probably nothing will be done to enable us to post about all year round fun and frolics.

Maybe they are all asleep MammaChef!

yea maybe, grubhead

perhaps we better shout again tomorrow, see what happens eh?

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA MODS!!!!

Will that do mammachef?

oops...I hurt my hungover head with all that shouting

Hi MammaChef, excellent idea, question is how to move it forward? Since it is your idea, you should lead.

Great idea! With all the new seasonal stuff Roopa's working on we're looking at making the website more seasonal. The Christmas message board will come down in the New Year and we were thinking of adding seasons/events as they come up, but the idea of having a static seasonal board is a really good one. Thanks!

Yay..well done Mammachef!!!

*highfives mammachef*

Thanks Ramona,

I look forward to suggestions of all seasons and all events. Can't wait.

I must say its nice to know we have a voice too. Thanks UK Food, thats why you continue to be the best website around.

Congrats MammaChef

Hi Chef de Maison,

Well since you so kindly ask my opinion, this is how I would suggest it went.

Go to the special occassions thread and then head stuff like the eating out thread. On there we are supposed to say "Eating out in Essex" then write our post.

So we could say, Halloween Celebrations... blah blah etc etc then write our post.

Or Planning a Hen Night ..... blah blah etc etc

But I will be happy whatever the format as it will be handy for exchanging ideas.
