## Editions on record

One row per edition, each against the same year, so where in the calendar this event falls is visible rather than inferred. Editions are added, never overwritten — a year that was cancelled or did not run stays exactly where it was. This record begins with 2026; earlier editions may well have run, and are simply not yet sourced.
