VH Events 2025
I can't see what the problem is with in just making a simple list.
The embedding of a Google Calendar,
while interesting, does not seem to work.
I had a few theories one how I could present this. At first I thought I could create a new class that
displays list items conditionally, Special events only and All events. However, the w3-hide classes do this
for me anyway. Turning the mobile device on its side seems to work. I can't really see that having a button
or menu option would work in this case.
Prototype
What I have here is a prototype of how I think the events for the year could be displayed
I have coded the page so that it only displays the "special" events when viewed on a phone. To see all the
events the visitor has to turn their phone on its side. As I am not part of the team putting these events
together and promoting them I cannot tell them what to do.
I took the events from the VH websites embedded Google Calendar, which in my opinion does not provide a
good way of presenting upcoming events. I guess the logic here is that the calendar can be updated on the computer
of the "person in-charge" and it will then be available to anyone visiting the website.
There was a list that was produced for the events for 2024 that appeared in the Belchamp Walter e-News,
episode 13, 16th May 2024. This was a manual list but I don't see why it would be difficult to maintain as
events occur and become past events. As there were only a few events released by the Village Hall Committee
at the time of the publication of the e-News additional events were taken from the Village Hall website's
Events Calendar.
The list could be coded as a table as I have done for my Villages Index
The list below was compiled in late 2024 - some of the events have either been
dropped or the dates changed.
For example, the Race Night has been changed from 8 March to 26 September 2025. Death by Chocolate seems to
have disappeared. It was rather close to the 3rd Village Talk.

Embedded calendar not displaying on phone
This seems to be an on-going issue. Going into 2025 it still doesn't seem to be fixed. Making an Internet search
will turn up many posts but no real answers.
In addition, the embedded calendar does not seem to be responsive and as such
will not be usable to most
of the potential Village Hall users of the website.
