calendar programs have some way of loading these files into your
calendar. You want to load a file with a name like `cofe-2019.ical`.

Note that there may be a way to subscribe to a calendar over the
internet, so if someone can set this up it may be the best solution.

### How to add a new calendar to Google Calendar from URL

You can use the GitHub raw links for each ICAL file to add a new calendar to Google Calendar. This will add a separate calendar which you can toggle or delete as required, without affecting your other calendars.

1. Obtain a link to the calendar of your choice by navigating to the file in the `data/cals` directory in the GitHub web UI, then clicking "Raw". You may want to use a particular commit, in case the file paths change in the future. For example, the C of E 2021 calendar link for d4c502a is:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/martinellison/anglican_calendar/d4c502a8469f67d7e010927a9876e0b1e1781e01/data/cals/cofe-2021.ical

2. In Google Calendar, navigate to **Other calendars** -> **Add other calendars (+)** -> **From URL**.

3. Enter the URL from step 1 and click **Add calendar**

Google Calendar reloads the calendar from the URL every few hours, so if you use an URL like the following, the events may change:
