Only a few months of the calendar is printed in the Black Star.
Seneschals get a current calendar every month that is 13 months long. If
you ask your seneschal to view it, they're *supposed* to let you (member
or non-member has never been differentiated, as far as I know). This
could be a time-consuming process though. (You ask, he doesn't have it
this week, next he forgets or you're not there, etc.)
IMHO, better to have it posted to a web site (or at least on this list)
where access is almost instantaneous. Not everyone is going to be
interested in a 13-month long calendar. It mostly provides help in
planning what dates might be free for the next local event (or it could
be used to decide when to take a vacation). All it really helps people
know is that yes, group X really is holding their event Y, it's on the
calendar on date Z.
