Hi all,
As you may know, the external service available to UK Wikimedians that allowed you to have the WMUK Calendar [1] automatically synced to your Google Calendar/iCalendar/Firebird/Outlook (etc) has stopped working.
I've knocked up a quick replacement; just add http://tools.wmflabs.org/wmukevents/ as an external calendar. Unfortunately I don't know what functionality users' used to get, so I would be interested to know what's missing or what improvements I could make (if easy!). (Techies on this list, if you want to help maintain the code and have a Toollabs account, do private message me.)
If no-one objects, I'll go ahead and replace the link on [1].
By the way, if you don't already sync the WMUK calendar, I think it's a great idea :)
Best, Harry

Harry - Many thanks for this! I will admit that I hadn't noticed it wasn't working, but I'm very impressed at the replacement and the work you've done. Many thanks once again!

I didn't know such a thing existed. Very handy!
It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use it on Google Calendar. For anyone else similarly struggling: click the down arrow next to "Other calendars" in the sidebar, then select Add by URL.
