Listing multi-day calendar events as a single item #calendar


 

Hello,
I have recently set up a group for my local mountaineering club. We have a calendar of activities/ trips which the club is running/ which members may be interested in attending which is currently hosted on Google Calendars. I maintain the online version while our newsletter editor manually notes down the individual events to go in a calendar for the newsletter (there are a substantial number of members who do not own computers). I would like to find a way in which the newsletter editor can get a list of events for the next 6 months (this is an arbitrary number) automatically from our online calendar. I have had a bit of a play with the groups.io calendar with a view to transferring our calendar to groups.io, however when I ask the calendar to list events it treats every day of a multi-day activity as an individual event which will make the newsletter far longer (we typically have 3 weekends away each month and a week long trip every other month) which would increase postage and printing costs for the club (it also looks rubbish having a single event showing up 7 times).
Is there some way in which I can get the calendar to allow me to list multi-day events as a single item please?
Thanks in advance,

I wasn't able to find anything to change this behavior.? I can see that it could be confusing or awkward the way it is.? You can make a suggestion on the group, official suggestion box for the site, to summarize multi-day events on the starting day instead of repeating daily for list view.? I'd certainly support it, even though I don't need it right now.
