[Bradford] Google Calendar

I found that the calendar on my phone had also deselected the BradLUG calendar. Also my phone listed TWO calendars - same  on Google. One has the heading 'Bradford GNU/LUG' and the other 'Bradlug Meetings'. So, maybe Google saw two similar calendars, got upset, so threw them both out of the pram :-)
Only the calendar 'Bradford GNU/LUG' is valid. The other doesn't show any events.

Don't know if I'm getting reminders for 'no show' events as such an event has not occurred yet.
I am still getting other calendars - werewolf etc.

Are you getting reminders for these events, even though they aren't
being displayed in your calendar?  I've seen that happening on my
Wildfire S recently, and can sometimes go for days with my calendar
being completely empty except for a single repeating event.

Given I've got a Calendar tab open in
 Chrome most of the day I've
never bothered looking into it too much.  But it really only started
when I added a second Google account to my phone.

Regards
Alice
