It’s only taken six months to finally inform the world about this year’s monthly challenge…
2025’s monthly challenge follows last year’s monthly cinema trip and 2023’s gig a month, both very successful experiences.
So the pressure was on to find something that would work. Early thoughts were going down the sport route. Different sport every month? Liked this idea, but thought it probably needed considerable planning, maybe it will become 2026’s challenge. So, we settled on: monthly theatre visit. With the added challenge of attempting to visit 12 different theatres.
Initially, the plan was to do a short little blog of each visit, but of course, that didn’t happen. Hence the six month catch-up.
