MrsNiki Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Just a thought: I know there’s not much up for 2016 by way of events yet, but is there any way that every meet, when proposed by an organiser, can be added to the calendar by proxy when a thread is created, and also a link to the thread available in the calendar itself? This would be handy for me, as due to my work rota I can look at a calendar and see what I’m home for easily, rather than sifting through all of the different regions etc. I have noticed previously that the calendar isn’t always used for advertising meets, and I think some of the event organisers are missing a trick here! *Prepares to get shot down in flames for being too lazy to check each subforum on every visit* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 From what I believe, I think the Calendar is manually entered - I.e. the mods have to forwarded any events they seem fit onto the Calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Problem is that dates change. If the OP forgets to update the auto calendar entry then people like yourself could end up going to a meet on the wrong day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 If event organizers let mods know they would like their event added to the calendar or that an advertised event details need changing, let one of us guys in green know the details and we will do the necessary. Certainly do not want members to miss such opportunities so a good question Mrs Niki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I know as an REO you can add and manage calendar events, and they feature in the 'Upcoming Calendar Events' window on the Forums page (when the event is approaching), as I've done that myself historically.

brillomaster Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 talking of calendars... is there a club one again this year? Sure theres normally something on it by now, unless I've missed something??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsNiki Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 No problems, just thought I'd ask! There are a local few meets that seem undersubscribed, so even if this thread just highlights the available calendar to OPs who haven't used it before, it will be worthwhile As for the major meets (Japfest/JAE/modified nationals etc), the dates are well known in advance, might be worth getting these added for either forum organised stands or even just information purposes? I'd be happy to get together a list or these to populate the calendar and maybe organise a couple of things (love planning stuff, I'm a sad case like that ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimboy2 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Also can we have the big events printed on the calendar if and when it comes out. Will also remind me of when they are as I'm useless with keeping up with the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
