Every date carries an organiser source and a checked date. If it cannot be verified against the organiser it does not publish, and it stays marked TBC until it is. Games societies confirm the following year six to nine months ahead, so this is reviewed every month.
Organisers set their own dates and change them. Confirm on the organiser's own site before you travel or book.
No fee, no affiliate link, no catch. Send the date, the venue and your website and it goes in at the next monthly review.
