Are there any experts out there?

I want to create an event that happens on the Thursday following the third Monday of the Month.

This is different than the third Thursday of the month, today for example, is the third, but there have only been 2 Mondays in June.

Any ideas?

At the moment, my best option is to add a reminder every 3rd Monday to add a Thursday appointment :)

@Lorry don’t think this is possible within the standard ui. You’d need to write a script that can handle logic like finding the third Thursdays with a date greater than 19 for example, and creates the ical files

@Lorry I wonder if it's possible to book for "The third Monday" with an offset of +72 hours?

@DopeGhoti That would be how I'd want to do it (hence my current solution being booking a reminder on the 3rd Monday to manually add an event on Thursday) - But it doesn't seem to be a thing you can offset, annoyingly.

@Lorry @DopeGhoti maybe you could book for the 3rd Monday and make it a 4 day long calendar entry?

@kathleenthelaw @DopeGhoti That would be a little confusing since I want the hour-before alert mostly :)
