Hi Everyone... We have been in 2020 for a few months and I have to admit I really have not been hitting the mark on one of my new year’s resolutions. OK, so this mightn’t surprise you and you are probably thinking it is something like giving up chocolate or eating more vegetables but it’s not that easy. At the end of last year I got thinking that I needed a resolution to embrace technology and it made sense that this idea should happen in 2020. It started by becoming a social media master and, yes, GC&M News has Facebook and Instagram accounts, which as a team we do really well. We post lots of news, updates, photos of events, event reminders, etc and we have more than 7,000 followers, which is great. However, on my personal Facebook and Instagram I am totally rubbish. This year all I have managed is one Facebook post (and, yes, that was on the first day back at work) and not a single Instagram post. So, I am taking very small steps with this goal – this week I am pledging to do two Instagram posts. If you want to keep me honest why not follow my Instagram account Editor GCM News.
