If anyone is interested I have published a public Google Calendar of the 2009/10 fixtures.

The calendar itself can be found at: [www.google.com]
You can view it on it's own or you can click on the "+ Google Calendar" logo at the bottom right-hand corner to add all the entries to your own Google Calendar if you have one.

Mac users and iPhone users with the new 3.0 Software can also add it to their device Calendar from the following iCal address [www.google.com]

I don't know how many GC users there are out there but I hope this is useful to someone as well as me!

very useful - thanks! synced my google calendar back to my outlook calendar and then to my phone so fixtures now everywhere!

Cheers GCG.
That's very handy!
As an aside, if anyone isn't using Google mail, Google calendar, and Google Docs then they ought to take a look!
Chrome is a pretty neat browser too!
Microsoft had better watch out!
If they do an OS it will cripple MS!
PS
I have no financial interest in either outfit!

Chrome is a pain. No buttons and not as good as firefox!

Thanks a lot!!
Very useful for me to organise my trips

Hi IMT- has this data been officially published anywhere? If so I'll add them to the calendar but ERC still show everything TBA...

GQG.

Hi GQG,

No it hasn't but the HC round robin is normally,

2nd seed v 4th seed
4th seed v 3rd seed
1st seed v 4th seed
4th seed v 1st seed
3rd seed v 4th seed
4th seed v 2nd seed

I've added those as tentative fixtures.

GQG.

gqg
this is so useful can we keep this as a permanent feature on the left hand bar?
thks again

There already is one of sorts but you could suggest it to The Prof.

I don't mind keeping it up to date for the foreseeable future.

Google has issued its clearest challenge to rival Microsoft so far, by announcing its plans to create a new computer operating system aimed at laptop users. The Californian internet company said it is working on a lightweight system that is based on the Chrome web browser it launched last year. "It's our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be," said the company on the Official Google Blog.

Well, they have announced their intentions now!
grauniad

Guinness "A" League match dates now added. No venue or times available yet!

GQG.

Anglo-Welsh draw and fixtures make no sense as the fixtures shown are against teams not in our group!
Can someone explain?

Yes, I think so.
The so called group is merely a seeding set, whose members play one of the other groups in each round.
Then ,the best placed team in each seeding group goes through to the semi final.

Quote:

The cross-pool competition will mean teams in Pool One will play teams in Pool Four and teams in Pool Two play teams in Pool Three. Each team is guaranteed four pool matches - two home and two away - with the top teams from each pool qualifying for the semi-finals.

So.. you can win every game you play and not go through.
you can lose every game and go through!
Good innit??
BBC link to explain?

Quinssa "Meet the squad" event on August 18th now added...

GQG.

I've just received an email fromSporting Class suggesting the game @ Toulouse will be on the weekend of Jan 16/17.

HC Dates updated to show confirmed days/times where available.

Also a couple of fixtures swapped round as well so the back-to-back in December is now with Sale, not Toulouse.

GQG.

Anglo-Welsh Cup dates and times now added.

Still waiting for HC rounds five and six and then the whole season's details will be on the calendar.

For all the Google calendar users out there that have either an iPhone or an ipod touch, I've found a new App called CalenGoo in the App Store. At £3.99 it's not a bargain but it makes Apple's own calendar look amateur. Well worth a look!

GQG.

Added as a story now and in the left nav now too

I've noticed that the time has changed for the Bath home game:

Sat 3 Oct 6:05 GP Harlequins v Bath Rugby

Updated as requested QN... I hadn't spotted that change yet!

Please keep the updates and suggestions rolling in.

GQG.

Sterling work on updating this calendar GQG.

It looks like Google have unveiled a new feature in calendar; the ability to track sports schedules:

[gmailblog.blogspot.com]

Quote:

Now, when you look under "Other Calendars," click "Add," then "Browse Interesting Calendars" (or use this link to the Calendar directory), you'll find calendars for hundreds of teams in dozens of sports leagues — everything from the National Football League to the Korean FA Cup.

I found Harlequins listed there! The only disadvantage is that the schedule appears to be using GMT so at the moment all the match times are 60 minutes out.

Not only does it list the time, it also claims to update the event with the current score as well.

That looks good- I've added some of the items but I prefer having more contol over the content sometimes!

GQG.

A few recent updates- postponed A-league match, HC Sale away time changed and now on TV, Brian Moore night added.

Has anyone got anything else to add?

Also, is there a demand for other rugby related dates such as Autumn Internationals, Six Nations, Tri Nations etc.?

GQG.

I've been quietly keeping this updated. How many are finding it useful?

Does anyone have any suggestions for improvements and/or additions?

GQG.

Even though I've got the Google calendar subscribed, I still use yours as well.

I like the way you update the other meetings on it, "Meet The Management" for example.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers, GQG - very useful once again.

No problems... it's just as easy to share it as to keep it to myself!

If anyone has any suggestions for items that I have missed please let me know...

GQG.

Now updated to show all the 2010/11 fixtures. Currently they are all shown as being on Saturday but I'm sure that will change for a few...

GQG.

Cann't wait for the season to begin!!

Now with dates/times for all 2010/11 Premiership matches. Until they change a few to suit Sky/ESPN of course...

GQG.

This is brilliant. Thank you.

Now updated to include the latest Amlin Cup fixture information...

GQG.

I dug this thread out to send the link to my brother, as it is still the best Quins calendar around; well maintained, accurate, etc.

Thank you GQG!

Cheers, installed on phone.

Bump - this is by far the best Quins calendar out there.

Meticulously updated to include all fixtures, scores after the event, A-league games, 7s, Quinssa events, etc...

Can be subscribed to on Gmail, Android, or I-thingies

Bumped in response to other thread asking, and to let new people find such a valuable resource!

Looks great - quick question. If I just add this season's fixtures (and not the historic ones), will they still auto update or do I need to add all for this to work?
Thank you!

Hi All!

Thanks for the bump IQPH.

Greg- once you have subscribed you will get all past, present and future fixtures as they are announced and any later changes will automatically update.

There is also now a Facebook page with instructions, feedback etc. here: [www.facebook.com]

Got that one partly wrong.

However, Google crippled MS? I don't think so. Windows still has 90% market share, not significantly different to 2009. Chrome OS has very little. The battle is still on but with Windows 10 being offered as a free upgrade MS are still in a strong position.

this is great, GQG. Up until last season there was a calendar we could subsribe to on the offy site, but doesn't seem to be there any more.

Question -- in March you have the Bath and Worcester games as still undecided, ie possibly FRI/SAT or SUN, but both those games are down as Sat 3pm KO on the offy site. ??

From past experience Premier Rugby put every game down for the home club's preferred KO time/date (in Quins' case 3pm on Saturday) until it's confirmed or changed.

GQG.

The Bath game clearly won't be 3pm Sat -- as England are playing at HQ.

But for something like Worcester, it may very well be Sat 3pm -- how can you tell when that becomes the confirmed time?

The Bath game clearly won't be 3pm Sat -- as England are playing at HQ.

Premiership Rugby release fixture confirmations in blocks of six rounds at a time once BT Sport have decided which games they want to show live. The first six rounds were confirmed a few weeks ago but there are sometimes one-off announcements of other changes such as Bath v Quins being moved a few days ago so it doesn't clash with the RWC final.

Kwin is correct that the Bath home game won't be on Saturday 12th March due to the home 6N game that day, but we probably won't find out if they are moving it to Friday or Sunday until much nearer the time. The Worcester game is anyone's guess at the moment!

I will however update the calendar within 24 hours of any fixture changes or confirmations...

GQG.

This is a great resource, GQG, thanks for keeping it up to date.
A feature request would be to separate the 1st XV, A Team and U18 team into three different calendars, so that
- people could unsubsribe to the ones not interested in
- if you subscribe to all three, the three team would be neatly colour-coded in your calendar.

<accidental dup. again!>

this is the reason I don't subscribe to this calendar and instead subscribe to the ones provided by google (browse interesting calendars).
I am not really interested in seeing anything other than the first xv fixtures in my calendar so google works better for me.

However, I like the fact that they are all in the same calendar - one colour for Quins rugby. I have a lot of calendars so would see no benefit in different colours for different levels.

Horses for courses!

The titles of each game are coded: e.g ALg, ECC, AP - I find this balance enough

I did think about doing separate calendars for 1st XV, A-League etc but like others I have too many calendars already- that's why I settled on the prefixes that I now use.

I'm sorry there's too much info for you akb1... I try to keep it relatively uncluttered- surely the 6-8 A-League matches a year aren't too high a price to pay for up to date and accurate info?

GQG.

wasn't meant to be a criticism so apologies if it came across that way.
I seem to recall in the past your calendar included all Quins & Quinssa related events which I wasn't necessarily interested in seeing.
So now that Quins don't have a fixture calendar the Google provided ones work better for me, and they are accurate an up to date also.

The google one lists the fixtures in the US style - with the Away team first. Grrr, I couldn't get used to that.

Has this great and useful resource finally expired? I note it's not up to date.


If so - thanks for all the effort over the years
I note that the offy site now has a sync-to-google feature, but I am not too keen on giving away the permissions that it requires....

Sync version permissions make sure the content is kept upto date with date and kick off time changes.

yes, but only because they have designed it that way.

They COULD just publish a public calendar, give us the URL of it, so we subscribe (no permissions needed)

Instead they require permission to read and write to your calendar, and use that to create a personal calendar in your account.
So you have to give away access to all your personal calendars ---

I'd like to echo the thanks for this wonderful resource that I've used for many years.

Regarding the one on the offy, I subscribed by selecting "other". Once you've downloaded the list, you can go to your browser's downloads section and find the actual link (can't do it now, I'm on my mobile)... Simply subscribe to this instead; I'm assuming they update it when dates are confirmed.

thanks to everyone :-)
permissions rescinded and what could be better than a Quins calendar maintained by someone else?

two quins calendars maintained by someone else :-)
