Online Booking for Events - with Event Style Calendar
Event style booking is the Online Calendar/Diary style used by a variety of business that provide services at regular/fixed times, or for 1 off multi attendee events, e.g. annual charity dinner. Activity based services such as personal trainers, tours or slimming classes/club will likely choose to use this style.
