Hi Again Thanks for your thoughts, looks like another silly mistake on my part explains the error, I had to override getter in a child class to be able to position it differently on the page and did not use super.getStartDateTime(). I should use the JSON layouts for that kind of thing.
The bookmarkservice idea is interesting, something I have not delved into in any detail. There is so much to learn (my previous Aladdins Cave comment was sincere). But in terms of speed, I suppose its something to think about when users start to complain about performance issues. Not on the eve of an demo.
