More about the new online diary for organisers planning event dates
Jan 2025 Occasionally organisers of community events may find, after a date has been agreed, that another group has organised an event for the same day. It’s frustrating for the organiser and also for residents, who may wish to attend both, but might have to choose which one to support.
From time to time organisers have said that some form of village calendar of events might help avoid the problem, but no solution has been forthcoming. A new free to use online village events diary for organisers to use when discussing suitable dates may help them avoid clashes with other organisations.
As it is online and mobile friendly they will be able to see during the planning meeting if another group has updated the diary with details of an event they are organising. As soon as a date has been confirmed, an online form can be completed and submitted and the diary amended. Needless to say, it will only be effective if organisers make use of it.
The diary is to help those who are planning community events in Groby or Field Head and although visible to everyone is not a calendar of commercial or weekly/ monthly meetings. Dates of some sporting events are included to assist event planning, but may be subject to change.
The easiest way to find the diary online is to scroll up this page.
