Title: Coin Calendar
Post by: Splock on January 31, 2013, 03:56:07 PM
Having the afternoon off I've taken the opportunity to populate the forum's Calendar (http://www.australian-coins.net/calendar.php) (thanks to AC in pointing out that it exists!) with regularly occurring coin fairs, taken from the Calendar of Events in CAB Magazine. I've also populated a couple of auctions up until March. I am wondering if this will be useful to anyone and if I should continue to populate the remaining annual fairs (ANDA, Peterham, Perth etc) and forthcoming auctions? Will anyone use this?

OK I'll take that as a vote of confidence and will continue to update it. When I do that I may even post on this thread, which should hopefully prompt you to have a look Nevol :)

The calendar has been updated. It now includes:

The addition of a link to the voucher for $2 off entry at the Perth ANDA fair.
Addition of all ANDA Fairs, including the additional international fair in October.
Addition of other fairs including APTA, SCDAA, Brisbane and Perth
Addition of Auctions for most Australian Auction houses including Nobles, Downies, Roxbury's, IAG and Status International where dates are available.

I've added hyperlinks to associate websites where available and most locations have been linked to Google maps.

Having a quick peak I noticed this entry of gnome's labelled "pre (http://www.australian-coins.net/calendar.php?action=event&eid=38)" detailing that he's "Going to the Newcastle shindig." Should this really be in the public arena? :dodgy:

There is a major stamp event called Australia 2013 - National Philatelic Exhibition & Show  (http://www.apta.com.au/SubMenu/Australia_2013.aspx?id=216) Friday 10th May to Wednesday 15th May 2013, held at the Melbourne Royal Exhibition Building, which is probably the event where they'll release this.

I didn't add it to the calendar as it was more stamp based, but will add it now :)
