    The time has arrived to sign up for PART 1 of the 2014 cooking club. If you'd like to post your recipe between January and April, sign up now. We'll take 16 sign ups this time around. We will take more in April and August.

    Some notes to bear in mind:

    1a. If you sign up, you be given a date that you must post a recipe on. The date will fall on a Friday. Please be prepared and have your recipe ready by this date. Please do not sign up if you are not serious about submitting a recipe.

    1b. Chances are, you will receive a reminder PM a few weeks before you are due to post your recipe. You must reply to this PM and confirm that you will still be taking part. Otherwise, your slot may be given away.

    1c. If you cannot take part on your allotted date for a foreseen reason, it is imperative that you contact the moderators in advance to let us know. A huge amount of work goes into the Cooking Club, and it is enormously frustrating when someone fails to post without good reason.

    1d. If you fail to post a recipe without letting us know why, a 2-week ban may result. Of course, we understand that sometimes things happen unexpectedly to prevent you from posting, so we will use our discretion here.

    2. Pictures are NOT required. They're nice, but they're in no way essential. We'll come back to this, but we are imposing a maximum number of pictures this year. Some posts, although lovely to look at, are completely over the top with pictures and this makes it a nightmare to browse the forum on mobile devices :).

    3. The choice of recipe is entirely up to you. It can anything you like, as long as you think others will enjoy it. Some recipes get an unexpectedly large response, others get very few replies. Please don't be disheartened if your recipe doesn't generate a huge response. Often, people are making it without posting about it. Lack of replies don't mean your recipe was a failure!

    4a. We have a Random Recipe thread. If you don't sign up in time, or if you have extra recipes you'd like to submit, we strongly encourage you to post them to the Random Recipes thread.

    5. As usual, we will only accept sign-ups from posters who have a total postcount of more than 100 posts (or who can demonstrate a strong posting history in the Food & Drink forums under a previous closed account - PM the moderators for this). We will use our discretion with sign-ups where the poster has no history of posting here. We do this to minimise the number of people signing up and then forgetting about it or not wanting to take part a few months later.

    5b. If you have failed to post a recipe in the past without giving us adequate notice, you will not be permitted to take part this year (or in the future).

    6. Finally, if there's a particular time of year that you'd prefer to post, or a time that really doesn't suit you, please let us know with your sign-up post . OR if you're brave enough to be the first poster of the year in early January, please post it!

    Okay, that's our lot for the first batch. There's actually 19 sign ups so far, which is more than I meant to take but it's not really fair to cut people because I didn't close the thread in time so 19 it is :D.

    A schedule will be done shortly after Christmas, and sign ups will be open again in April-ish :).
