Our Upcoming Events
You can see our calendar below. Scroll down to see instructions on how to sync the calendar to Google Calendars, Apple Calendars, your desktop, mobile or tablet. Alternatively, you can keep informed of our events through Facebook.
Syncing to your device
All our events are saved onto our Google calendar. You can view and sync this calendar through multiple platforms. Any updates will propagate through. It is important to note that our event dates are not set in stone, especially for BBQs and other smaller events. So take the dates for any event more than a few weeks away as tentative only.

OwnCloud: OwnCloud does not currently allow users to add calendars which are hosted elsewhere. You could download the static .ics file here, upload it to your OwnCloud files, click on it in the OwnCloud file browser and then add it. But there would be no point, because it wouldn't update when we update the original.
