Here Comes Summer

Here Comes Summer

Hello Everyone and welcome to this summery June edition of the Cracking Ideas e-newsletter.

It’s the time of year when our thoughts turn to picnics in the park, seaside deckchair slumbers, fruity ice lollies, dripping 99’s, scorched (or muddy) festival fields, strawberries and cream, butterflies and bumble bees and SO much more! We want to know what is the iconic summer image that springs to mind for you when you think of the months of June July and August? We’d love to hear what floats your boat this summer on Twitter and facebook or at our blogging style news page on the Cracking Ideas website where you can post comments, add your thoughts and join in the conversation. 

What's Your Creative Summer Idea?

What's Your Creative Summer Idea?

Why not tell us about your topical cracking ideas for summer. We'd love to know for example how you'd go about creating a brand new ice-cream flavour or do you have a super sun-hat design you’d like to share with us. Let us know what your favourite summer sport is and which gadget, gizmo or rule could improve the game. Or why not simply let everyone know what your fave iconic summer logo is ... the one that really says what the season is all about for you. We'd love to hear all about your creative summer ideas; why not upload them to our Cracking Ideas gallery so everyone can sneak a summery peak!

What We've Been Up To

What We've Been Up To

As part of our summer fun here at Cracking Ideas HQ (slotted in amongst the barbecues and tennis watching) we have been planning the next innovative Cracking Ideas competition. We can’t wait to and tell you all about the fantastic theme and brilliant creativity we are going to ask you to get up to in 2011 – 2012. BUT we are not quite ready to spill the beans just yet and are going to keep you in suspense for a just a little longer! What we can say at this point is that it’s developing into a real hum-dinger and we think you are going to love it! Watch this space ... It won’t be long now until you can prove to us all over again what amazingly ingenious cracking innovators you are ... we can’t wait!

Summer Trip

Summer Trip

Until then don’t forget that the fabulous ‘Wallace & Gromit Present a World of Cracking Ideas’ exhibition is open at Newcastle’s Life Science Centre throughout the entire summer. Come rain or shine, the hands-on exhibition based in Wallace & Gromit’s 62 West Wallaby Street is a great trip out. In this exhibition, apart from the strangely compulsive contraptions invented by a lover of Wensleydale cheese, you'll also be able to see a rich variety of ideas that have helped to make the world this summer a better, safer, healthier, more colourful and enjoyable place. From telephones to vacuum cleaners and chocolate teapots to Wellington boots (a British summer essential)... It’s all there. Get exhibiton savvy here.

Whether you’re planning to spend your summer at home with friends mucking around in the garden or you are intending to travel farther afield enjoy yourselves, stay creative and have a cracking summer!
