Hello and welcome to the
AboutMyGeneration August newsletter
Also a special welcome to
the many new members who joined during July. The last two months has
seen the number of members triple so it's great to have you all on
board
We have had a couple of complaints from the female members about
lack of contact from the males. So come on you guys use the Search for a Member
facility and send messages to the women. They will really appreciate it. If you
are shy, why not start posting on the forum either in the discussion threads or
the New Member's section.
Again a lot of new articles and information
on the site this month and three great competitions to enter including
Wasted? a signed biography by cricketer Paul Smith and a Make Over from New
ID.
And finally, the site
is designed for you, the members, and your contributions and ideas are most
welcome. For example there have been changes to the Member Search and the
creation of Travel Mates this month, both Member suggestions. So if you have any ideas that you think
would make the site better then please mail me peter@aboutmygeneration.com
Kind regards and happy surfing

Find a Travel
Mate
Do you want to travel but don’t
fancy going alone? Then why not check out our Travel Mates Group to
find like-minded individuals to share the experience and reduce the
cost? You might want someone to join you on a World Cruise or
just to get together with a group for a day out in the UK. Whatever
you would like to do, just post a few details on the Message Board or look
for someone who has already posted. Even if you prefer to do your own
thing, you can ask other solo travellers about the best places to visit
and learn from their experiences. Take the first step to planning
that trip now and click on the Travel Mates link at the bottom of the left
hand column. You must be registered and logged in to use this facility. If

New Feature - Public
Groups
Travel Mates is an example
of the new Public Groups feature we have introduced. You can set up a
Group on your Home Page but make it Public. When you do this a link
to it is displayed on the bottom of the left hand column for
anyone to join. A Public Group is useful if you want to get together
with others who share a special interest and want to swap messages
and pictures. To create a Public Group go to your Home Page and click the
Create Group button. Name the Group but also tick the Public box. You
should write the objectives for the Group in the Description box. This
Description is shown when you hover over the Group Link, when someone
joins the Group and at the top of the Group page. |

August Competitions
| Wasted? A biography by cricketer Paul
Smith Competition |
| |
 'WASTED?' is the story of how cricketer Paul
Smith’s life fell apart after a drugs ban in 1997 effectively ended his
career. He believes he was made a scapegoat and to this day feels that he
was singled-out while several other, favoured players were allowed to
continue their careers. Paul lost his home, his marriage, his children,
his self respect and, of course, the game he loved. How does a man come
back from that?
Win a signed copy of
Wasted?. This raw and gritty biography of cricketer Paul Smith charts his
rise to fame through losing everything to his eventual redemption as a
role model for disadvantaged kids. Click here... to enter the
competition. |
