Hi Kids!

 

If you have been on the Calendar View section of the website recently, you may have noticed a few changes.  I have upgraded this section so it now includes filtering by categories as well as a calendar-specific search.  It also works dramatically better on mobile devices than the previous version did so please have a play around and let me know what you think.  Also, the Quick Recap below now links directly to the calendar entry for that event – no more searching through the original post to find the details you’re looking for!  All part of my mission to make NTDIB the best resource for finding out what’s going on in Bermuda!  Speaking of which, here are the latest Bermuda events:
