This is an excellent plan. But would everyone please take note of 3 things:

1) Best not to use the time option. See if you finish the event any later than 2330 (11.30pm) then it will span two days and look stupid in the calendar. When I'm setting up events I just make them 8am till 9am, then include the real time in the body of the post or tag it onto the subject line. The only people this will confuse is those that shouldn't be allowed out anyway.

The way round this is to add an all day event, then specify the time in the body or subject of the post.

2) Carefully note the convention for the subject line:

[EVENT] main thing + thing two + thing 3 + thing4 @ place

For instance:

[GIG] Led Zeppelin + Green Day + Cilla Black @ The East Neuk

OR

[GIG] Buddy Holly + The Glen Millar Orchestra + Gary Glitter @ The Dancing Cairns 8pm-late

Note that EVENT should be in captial letters, EVENT types are usually:

[GIG]
[CLUB]
[JAM]
[MOVIE]
[OPEN MIC]

3) Please don't take the piss and enter something stupid, or Neil might decide to terminate access to this feature. Then people like me will have to feel guilty about not spending hours keeping their calendars up to date. Seriously though, please treat this powerful feature with respect!
