Hello everyone, whoever you are, wherever you are and whenever this finds you, welcome to our What's Happening Today thread 
Most of you will know that we Admins are a small group, all with families, jobs, pets, homes and lives outwith the forum, so this is our way of saying “How are you?” “How's life treating you?” “Pull up a chair and have a cuppa”, in our full and busy days.
Whilst we're generally seen as individuals, this is our team effort and you will see us, TeamAdmin, on occasion on the forum, when we've come to a group decision about something that concerns or delights us. We don't take our roles lightly and a lot of thought goes into the things we post, which we hope will be taken in the spirit in which they are intended, friendly, informative and non-judgemental and the decision to act on that advice, is yours and yours alone, unless we deem that it puts another member at risk, in which case, we'll act accordingly.
This is a place where our first concern doesn't have to be about healthy living, a number on the scales, or how sweaty we've got at the gym, although those comments are always welcome and helpful. Here we can chat about the annoying person that pinched our parking space, little Johnny's football team scoring the winning goal, or the furball that the cat's just thrown up on the new Axminster!
It's also where to ask “Where's the........?”, “How do I”? “How many......?”, “Who's.......?”, etc.
As our time is limited, we have to prioritise our tasks while we're here and that pans out as:
1) Spammers/trolls – our first priority is to keep everyone safe from the unscrupulous.
2) Newbies – obviously, we want people to feel welcome and important.
3) What's Happening Today? - We can run through a single thread quickly and deal with queries, requests and respond to chat.
We can only move on from these 3 things if and when time allows. Our Events, clubs and challenges all have hosts and while we always try to support them, we know that they all do excellent jobs of keeping things going and looking after everyone.
However!!! This is a peer to peer support group and it's up to each of us, as individuals, to give our fellow forum members the attention, support and assistance that we'd like to receive ourselves. That's how it works around here.
We will post our comings and goings, so that you'll have a rough idea of who and when Admin will be around, but don't let our absences halt the flow of conversation. Please chat away to each other as much as you like, the more the better!
NB The What's Happening Today, Daily Diary and Weigh-in are opened at 9pm on the day before they're dated and closed at 9pm on the day, to accommodate our members all around the world.
Here's a list of what we have on offer and you are invited you all to take part in as much as possible, to get the most out of this wonderful forum.
If you click on the host's name, you will be magically transported to their profile page, where you can find their current post, to enable you to join quickly and effortlessly.

That's probably more than enough for everyone, so all that's left to say, is have a wonderful day.
Fortunately, I'd also taken a watch that needed a new battery (I know, I'd have got it for half the price at the market) and I had a wander round and bought a top in the sale.
