How to:

Fixture & Events Calendar

Gordano RFC provides a guide for subscribing to our fixture calendar.

Gordano RFC fixtures & Events calendar is supplied in iCalendar / ICS format, which is supported by most major devices and calendar applications.

Subscribing to a calendar means the events will always be up to date with the latest dates, times and coverage information on your PC, Mac, Tablet or Smartphone.

Android users: Please see the section below for instructions on how to subscribe to the feeds using Google Calendar syncing.

The instructions below will help with manually subscribing to a calendar if your device does not directly support the webcal protocol.

For all devices:

Once you have selected the options for your calendar, copy the URL (Link: http://www.gordanorfc.co.uk/calendar.ics) to your clipboard.
In Outlook, from the selection of 'Mail', 'Calendar', 'Contacts' and 'Tasks' - Select 'Calendar'
In the ribbon, pull down the 'Open Calendar' menu
Select 'From Internet'
Paste the URL in the box entitled 'New Internet Calendar Subscription'
Press OK
Optionally - Click 'Advanced' to name your calendar and configure some options.
Click 'Yes' to add the calendar to outlook and subscribe to updates.
The contents of the calendar will now be downloaded into Outlook, and will automatically update periodically as fixture information changes.

On the left of the page, pull down the option 'Other Calendars'
Select 'Add by URL'
Paste the URL in the box entitled 'Add by URL' (change webcal:// to http:// if the former does not work correctly)
Do not tick "Make this calendar publically accessible"

Using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (iOS 6+)

Go to the 'settings' app on your device.
From the list, select the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' option.
Select 'Add Account'
From the list, choose 'Other'
Under 'Calendars', Select 'Add Subscribed Calendar'
Paste the URL in the box entitled 'Add by URL' (change webcal:// to http:// if the former does not work correctly)
More options should appear, you can optionally enter a description for the calendar. You do not require a username or password, and should ensure 'Use SSL' is set to 'off'.
At the moment, no alarm information is sent with the fixture lists, so the 'Remove Alarms' option will not have an effect.
Select 'Next' - the calendar should sync, and then 'Save' to confirm the subscription.
Leave the 'settings' app, and go to the 'calendar' app. You should now see the subscribed calendar(s) in the list under 'subscribed' - ensure they are selected, and you should see all of the events in your calendar.
