Just a thought

Hi Everybody
I read from time to time that some of the smaller comps are struggling to keep afloat. Out ABPA Mag. runs a events calendar but can only promote events if if it's notified in advance, so many of the smaller events aren't shown there. I have been wondering if members of the forum couldn't start a similar events calendar featuring as many of the minor comps. well in advance of their closing date on this site, as this may help people get something ready to enter and so support these smaller comps. Some members are already doing this, perhaps other members from the various groups who have this knowledge couldn't do the same.
I'm wondering If we couldn't have a special place on the forum (A Type of Events Calendar) so as many festivals and comps as possible, are known in advance throughout the year
Over here in the west most of us haven't a clue about many of these events and I suspect this might be the case with some on the east coast as well. By the time we get to hear of some of these events (if ever) it's all over
I have noticed that of late Greg North is emailing members with this sort of information (I suppose those with email addresses) and this is really appreciated.
As I have said this is just an idle thought and perhaps not feasible, It will be interesting to see if others have any ideas along these lines.
Cheers Terry
