In an attempt to avoid some clashes in the events calendar, events organisers are invited to update the web calendar with the provisional date of their event(s) at the earliest opportunity - all that is needed is the date when you expect to run your event next. This will allow other event organisers to check what's coming up in their area and perhaps enter into negotiations to avoid local clashes. This was raised at the LDWA National AGM. West Lancs have already put their markers down for 14 February 2009 (Anglezarke Amble) and 31 October 2009 (Bottom's Up). It is especially important if your event only runs every other year, or misses a year for some reason, to let others know as soon as possible when it will return.
