East Park’s 100 issues of the D&DLS Bulletin
Simon Castell Dave Coffey
This edition of the D&DLS Bulletin reaches the milestone of being the 100th published by East Park Communications.
15 years ago, in early September 2007, I speculatively rang the then Administrator, Peter Ball, to float the idea of us producing your bi-monthly magazine free of charge, in return for allowing us our advertising revenue.
Peter invited me down to his home in Hilton, along with David Coffey, the designer, to discuss things further. As this was a new concept for both sides, we agreed that we would do a trial issue, with no strings attached, to test the water. The rest, as they say, is history!
The D&DLS Bulletin became East Park’s first venture into Local Law Society publishing and we still consider it our flagship journal. The magazine opened doors for us with other Local Law Societies and enabled us to become established in publishing for this market.
I would like to say a big thank you to Derby and District Law Society for giving us that opportunity and sincerely hope we can continue with our happy association for many years to come. 150th edition is the next milestone!!!
