CITY OF RYDE EISTEDDFOD
TIMETABLE OF EVENTS, 2008

A printed program booklet is provided to those who bought it, in two parts, A and B. Errors in this web version are very unlikely, but if they do occur the printed program takes precedence. However, this web version will take precedence in the case of any required updates, which will appear here in red. Competitors' names are not published here, for reasons of privacy.
Click for maps of the venues.

Clicking on any column header will sort the table rows on that column in ascending order. This is likely to take only two or three seconds. Clicking again on the same header will change the sort order to descending; a small arrow appears in the header to indicate the current sort order. Clicking on further columns will re-sort the table, maintaining the order of the previously sorted items as subsets within the new sort order.

(If the sorting does not take place, you will need to allow your web browser to use "active content", in order that the script controls may run. That will do no harm to your computer in this case. However, if you do not wish to allow it, you can still use the table but without sorting.)

For example, to see the events at Cox's Road on August 2nd (written here as August 02) in time of day order, click first on "Time of day", then on "Date", and finally on "Venue". Then scroll down the table, looking first for the desired Venue, then for the desired Date within that Venue, and you will see the times of day in their natural order, together with the information in the other columns. In this case you will find it about half-way down the table. Note that you need to click on the column headings in the opposite order from the order in which the question was posed.

Here's another example: to see all the vocal events on a Saturday, ordered by date and time of day, click first on "Time of day", then on "Date", then on "Day of week", and finally on "Discipline". Then scroll down to near the end of the table. Is it not magic?

And another example: to see the whole Eisteddfod in chronological order, from beginning to end, click first on "Time of day" and then on "Date". To see that list separately for piano (or any other desired discipline), click finally on "Discipline".

The initial order results from sorting the items by "Printed Program Page". The initial order can also be recovered by clicking on your browser's refresh button.

Various methods are available for printing this web page. You may select the desired material and copy it into a word processor, or export it to a spreadsheet program, or print it directly from your browser. You may wish to set landscape orientation or smaller margins or a smaller font size. Downloadable programs can convert html to pdf or other formats. (You may notice some harmless extra printed characters, which were hidden on the coloured web page and used to assist sorting.)
