You can now add local history/genealogy events to Our Town Story. Events are added from the your profile page (click your user name in the top right hand corner of the screen) by clicking the Events tab and then the '+' icon. 
Add the title, date and time, organiser, picture/logo, address, website and description. You also need to choose the principal topic location (for example if it's about life in Elizabethan York, then York is the principal location, even if the talk is somewhere else). 
As long as you have chosen a principal location, the event will now show up on the events pages of the town's and villages in a defined radius around it. At the moment, it's around 10 miles, but we will play with that if it's over/under specific, and welcome your feedback!
If you see an event you'd like to attend, you can click 'Attending', and you will be listed on the event as an attendee - as well as the event showing up in the calendar in your profile. If you're a social butterfly,  you can see at a glance where you're supposed to be and when!
As ever your thoughts, comments and suggestions are welcome; reply below, or start a new topic in the forum...
