Missing posts on news page (WP 2.2)

A site I’m building for a friend is almost there.
The one problem holding me back is the news/ events page (which is not the main page BTW).

What I have tried to do is to install and use the Event Calendar plugin on a page which is used to host the site’s BLOG.

This ‘news’ page is created from a custom template to which I have added the Event Cal code, the posts loop isn’t working – it only displays the name of the page as a post (clicking on the ‘post’ title refreshes the page).

At first I thought that the calendar was to blame, but it seems to be functioning well and its settings are correct (AFAIK).
The posts did</e> display in the past, so I know that the timestamp info is correct and they are on the database.
I have also used the loop from the ‘default’ theme’s index page to ensure that wasn’t the problem.

What I would like is a working news page which contains a calendar and the posts relevant to the calendar events as well as a couple of non-calendar categories.
The site – http://www.jubadoleao.com

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
G
