Norfolk Gazelles now have a shared calendar so members are able to see what's coming up, what social events and any other important dates are.

In short, a shared calendar is a calendar that anybody can subscribe to and which gives you the ability to view what's happening in your calendar app on your mobile device. As and when new events are arranged, these will be added and appear in your calendar. Hopefully this will enable all members to see what's coming up, events you wish to attend and so you can easily view and plan for for them.
