CHANGE
ccording to my Oxford Dictionary, there are an
abundance of definitions for the word ‘change’.
However in my case, the ones that seem to fit best
are numbers 1a: “making or becoming different” and 1b:
“alteration or modification” with “becoming different” probably
the best.
Some people embrace change with enthusiasm while
others have a real distaste for it. Then there are those who
are very skeptical of change . . . stand offish, reluctant. That’s
where I fit in.
Last year when it was brought to my attention that
perhaps The DatebooK needed to change a bit, get a new,
fresh look, I was skeptical but said I would give that some
thought. When the idea of going digital was presented,
skeptical is an understatement! There was no way I could
even begin to consider that.
However, here we are, one year later, with a new fresh
design and a digital DatebooK. I hope that those of you who
have been with us for a long time will continue to find The
London & UK DatebooK both helpful and enjoyable. For those
of you who are just discovering The DatebooK . . . Welcome!
And for your benefit, a brief bit of background on this
publication.
The DatebooK was started 23 years ago as a planning
guide for people who plan and manage events. It was mainly
a calendar to assist event organisers when scheduling a
function. It was eight pages and the colour was green. To this
