The listing of running event organisers and registration facilitators in a previous post, is the result of extensive and multiple internet searches. I made a point of liking and following such and other on Facebook and Twitter, and to subscribe to email notices. There are further a few aggregators that are quite useful. Unfortunately, this process evolved organically, rather than been done in a structured way. I further changed search engines, as well as operating systems and PCs. My records are therefore somewhat haphazard at this stage. This post is therefore likely to the revised and updated several times in future, as I rediscover sources.
