    Some constructive feedback... if you switched from the Times New Roman font to Arial Narrow (especially for performer information) you'd probably get 4 columns per page meaning it would all fit on 4½ pages instead of 6!

    With your permission, I could fit it onto just 4 pages for even faster reference!
    Yes, OK - if you can produce it, send me a PM to arrange transfer and I'll post it on Mediafire as an extra option. All I did was copy the text from the blog and fit it into the usual two weekly schedule formats.

      Only just seen your message ... I'll work on it this evening, initially copying and pasting from your 6pt PDF into a new Word doc.

        Boilk's 4-pager is now in the Mediafire directory. (Puts my efforts to shame!)

              Home page.....proms 2014 on left hand side.......printable version......first item on the list. Prints small but usable.

              Some idiot has scribbled ticks and crosses all over mine........
              I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

              I am not a number, I am a free man.

                Well, so long as one of those crosses isn't next to Mahler 3

                  Finding this one-page blog layout a godsend in planning visits Thought it was worth a bump!

                  The BBC's site (as many have said) is utterly hopeless unless you know specifically what date you want irrespective of the programme.

                  I have just picked up a pair of tickets for the Birtwhistle/Ravel Left Hand/Mahler 5 prom in my precise seating area preference, front stalls at the side nearish to the orchestra - perfect!
                  "...the isle is full of noises,
                  Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      Whooooooooooops



                      I beg Sir Harrison Birtwistle's (and your) pardon

                        Oh, so it was YOU who nabbed them........

                        Oh well, terraces will do for me. Does look a tempting evening.

                        And yes,the one page listing is how it ought to be done. Invaluable.

                          I've updated the blog and the printables (to Issue 3) to align with the changes flagged by bluestateprommer.
