Keep up to date with the WEGA's Google Calendar. This is a very good idea. If you click the button below, and you do not yet have a Google calendar, you will be invited to set up a Google account. Then you can set up your very own Calendar. If you have difficulties you can do this from here (in the Communicate, Show and Share section). Once you have set up your calendar you can import the WEGA Calendar and all WEGA events will be added to your calendar.

So you get a calendar to use as you wish AND you have reminders of WEGA events. You can add other calendars as well. I have one for Public Holidays and another for Aberdeen football matches - really rather sad!
