```text
Read the attached flyer and pull out the event name, date, start and end time, location, cost and anything I need to bring or sign up for. Check my Google Calendar for conflicts on that day and tell me about any clash. If it's clear, add the event with the location and details in the notes, plus a reminder [REMINDER TIMING, e.g. the night before at 7 pm]. If there's a sign-up deadline, add a separate reminder two days before it. Show me what you'll add before you add it. People going: [EVENT ATTENDEES, e.g. me and my son].
