    Thanks – this is extremely helpful. Is it dynamically updated? (i.e. if a new booking is added do I need to refresh my calendars or generate a new iCal feed?)

    Thanks Neil

    Yes, when a change happens in your GPnet calendar, this should naturally be reflected in any Calendar that is subscribing to it.

    In some cases, there may be a delay because each Calendar will have its own internal refresh frequency. In iCal or example, the frequency of automatic refresh is set on a per subscription basis. You can tell it to check every 5 mins or every hour or every day.
