    Using the online Calendar
    The web version of the Compass calendar is a live calendar, so will show the current month that you view it. To change the month,
    look in the left hand side of the calendar under the compass email address is a down arrow. Click it and select a month.  The right
    hand side of the calendar has four options: Print, Week, Month and Agenda.
  • Print will print the current month.
  • Week will show the current week
  • Month will show the current month

    Optional new ways to access the Compass:  For the tech savvy who want and need more flexibility in our
    electronic world, there are a number of new additional options to use access the Canterbury Compass.  Google Calendar is being
    used as the primary electronic calendar. This will allow you to access the Canterbury Compass via your own Google account,
    synchronise with your smart phone, Outlook and desktop computer.  To synchronise the Canterbury Compass with your personal
    diaries please contact me with your name, lodge details and gmail account details. I will then give you access to the Calendar via
    your Google account and details of how to synchronise the calendar.

    Secretaries:  You can still send information in the regular manner with the exception of Fax, which is no longer available.
