 ### Added
 
 - Events now have an optional Location field (address), defaulting to the organisation's configured address when creating a new event. Wherever an address is shown — event admin form, public event page, event card listings, the Contact page, and Site Settings → Organisation — there's now a "Directions"/"View on map" link, and the event detail and Contact pages also show an embedded Google Maps view (no API key required).
