 * I am running a community website with a “what’s on” calendar. Many of the events
   are simple reoccurring events which can be setup with no problems. One however
   is for a weekly event on a Sunday but on the third Sunday of each month it is
   replaced by another event.
 * week 1 – Sung Eucharist
    week 2 – Sung Eucharist week 3 – All Age Worship week
   4 – Sung Eucharist (and if a 5 week month) week 5 – Sung Eucharist
 * Now I can (and have) set this up as 4 reoccurring monthly events on the 1st, 
   2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks and then single one off events for the occasional 5th 
   Sunday in the month, but that seems a long convoluted way of doing something 
   that should be quite easy.
 * Does any one have any ideas?
 * p.s. The website is [http://www.draytonvillage.co.uk](http://www.draytonvillage.co.uk)

 * maybe you can try the monthly recurring events wherein you can use first until
   last day of the month ?

 * That’s what I initially thought – but you can only set one option from the drop
   down list at a time – so when you use an event instance with the fourth Sunday
   of the month and another using the last Sunday of the Month you will get a repeated
   event every month when there are only four Sundays in that month. If every month
   had 5 Sundays then it would work ok. This is why I have set up the single on 
   off events for the occasional months there are 5 Sundays.

 * You’d need to do as Angelo suggested, each event will be a different recurring
   event.
