So we are about to enter the 20's. Over the last few years we have witnessed many influences, effects and pressure, both directly and indirectly on our pastime and club. So what will this decade bring and what changes do folk think we will witness by the end of 2029?
On and a happy New Year and new Decade to all.

Yes, indeed the whole world did get it wrong and this was very thoroughly debated at the time I remember.
It was not a mistake, however. Of course it was, and is, well known when a new century or decade starts, but it just doesn't feel right to use the correct timing. To start the millennium at the start of the year 2000 feels right - even if it isn't. As it does to start the new decade now and not in a year's time.

Micky, I'm of the small select group that starts counting from ONE and not from Zero !!
But the dates we are using come from the supposed " Birth date of Christ ". The very basic Church in existence then did not really decide until about 400 AD ( I think ) as we know it when the new calendar should begin and cease to use the Jewish or Roman one . But the important thing was that they were using Roman numerals and there was not a zero in that system. So they settled for a date and we have followed it ever since apart from swapping from Julian to Gregorian.
Complicated & confusing to most so being the simple minded chap that he is Brian celebrates BOTH decades, centuries & millennia in order to make sure he's got it right or is at least there or thereabouts
