Does anyone know if a national calendar is available listing all competitions that run throughout the UK?

If not I'd be happy to compile one. Would there be any interest on here for such a thing?

Info I would need would be:

1. Comp Name
2. Venue
3. Contact Name/number of organiser
4. individual / Team event
5. Entry fee

I appreciate that a lot of next years dates will be finalised at Club AGM's etc and are probably not even decided yet but what do you think in principle.

or is there one already and I've just wasted the last few minutes typing this for no reason!!!LOL

You'll be flavour of the month mate, not to mention a bloody genius if you manage to pull that one off...before March!

In a word, yes, there will be a big demand for your calendar. Great idea and good luck.

When I said Calendar, what I meant was a list or spreadsheet of all comps running in the UK. It shouldn't be too much work once the dates are released.

I plan to enter as many "open" comps as possible next year but with work and family committments I need as much notice as possible. There were a few advertised on here this year that I would have loved to have entered but I only found out about them with less than a week to go.

I can obviously get info on the big comps - Anglian, Lexus, Scierra pairs (if it starts again next year)etc off the internet. Stocks resevoir also have a very good section on their website for their own comps - I haven't checked as yet but I assume Rutland/Grafham have something similar.

I'll do a bit of work on it tomorrow using this years dates and see what I can come up with.

For a minute I thought you meant calendar as in the things you sell around xmas time. I was worried you thought I was stepping on your toes - not my intention at all (if I upset you , who would tie my buzzers!!!)

I've been doing a bit of digging on the net in the last hour and found a lot of lists of comps - most of the lists are venue specific so it's only a case gathering all that info together in one place - should be easy enough.

leave it with me. I'd still be interested to hear from event organisers, club secretary's etc when dates are finalised.

Hi FJ,

This was done by someone last year on another forum, i think it is a great idea and many folk on here will be interested. I have posted you a link incase you want to have a quick look.

top idea just what we need but i don,t envy you trying to compile all the dates but i am sure there will be loads of demand on here

That's exactly the sort of thing I was thinking about but I might "tart it up" a little bit to make it a sort of wall planner type thing that could be laminated and stuck on the fridge door.

Anyone know if the guy, who has done the list on the link, is a member on here? His location is stated as Mid Wales so chances are that he lives pretty close to me!! - maybe we could get our heads together?

keep the comments coming people.

Fantastic idea fj ill message you all the stocks dates for next year as soon as we have finalised them

This is a very good idea.

There are not many competitive sports in the world where fixtures for open events are not nationally advertised. We all get to know about the big 3 or 4, but there are many where only those fairly local to the venue get to know about them.

If it helps, all AW fixtures are published in Hooked magazine which is published prior to the start of the season.

Good luck.
