THIS CALENDAR PROVIDES A ROUGH & NON-OBLIGATORY PUBLICATION SCHEDULE
The Gude & Godlie Calendar reflects the preoccupations and observances of Dundonians of all religions and none. We will (almost certainly) add to it as the years speed by.
Poems that fit with any of the themes in the calendar will be most welcome – visit our Contact page for details.
