Instructions for Managing links with the Village Diary
Firstly, if you only have a small number of events to be published then you are invited to send them to the who will add them by hand to the diary. Please make sure you provide details of the event itself, the start time and end time and the location. If however you have many events and the programme is subject to change at short notice then you can create a calendar of your own and have it link to the Village Diary automatically. This is how to do it:
- Sign on or Create an account with Google (it's free) : https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount

- Follow the instructions on screen to create your calendar, making sure that the time zone is set to (GMT+00:00) London
- Locate the option to 'Share this calendar'.
- tick the box next to 'Make this calendar public'
- in the section 'Share with specific people' enter the address 'info(at)hanslope.org.uk' - replacing the '(at)' with an @ sign - making sure the 'permission settings' shows 'see all event settings' (it's the default setting) - and hit the 'Add Person' button
- The display will look a bit like this when you've finished:
- Don't forget to hit the 'Save' button!
