[Bryn-gwlad] Archery ont he calendar (was Ideas Versus Actions)

[Susan Scott]

It's also more likely that someone glancing casually at the calendar
will notice the boldface "Cancelled" than that he will notice that
it's just not there, especially with the number of things happening on
Sundays.  Another reason is that it makes it obvious that it wasn't
just left out by mistake.  Another is that if it is still there, it
still links back to the "Where We Are" page, which gives more
information about the cancellation.  Perhaps the note about
cancellation on that page could be moved to the top of the section?
Would that make it more clear?
