3) Event Calendar
-----------------
For those of you who are looking for canyoneering events, festivals and rondys - I set up a new Google Calendar to provide a consolidated view. I added all of the events I knew about, and reached out to other event organizers as well. If you notice any events missing, please let me know (and please let me know who the contact is for the event if you know it.) Here's a link that you can use to just look at the calendar in a web browser:
https://tinyurl.com/SeeCanyonFestsNote: That link should also allow you to add the calendar (as a separate calendar) to your Google Account's Calendar (or copy an event to your personal calendar.) You can also use this URL to add the calendar: https://tinyurl.com/AddCanyonFests
If you are an event organizer, and want to add or maintain your own events - please reach out. I'm happy to add you as an editor, so you can add your event, and include any details you would like. You can also see what events are already planned, so event organizers can try to avoid overlapping with other events.
Feel free to comment with any questions, or PM me and I'll do what I can to help.
Take care,
A.J. - Training
