Hi Wikus,

I merely went into Ubuntu Software Centre, and selected Thunderbird's 
optional calender add-on - "Calender Extension for Thunderbird - Google 
Calender Support".

Everything then works exactly as it has always done. If I right-click 
the calender list, I have the option to create a new calender, or to 
import one of my Google ones, in fact, it found my active Google 
Calenders and synced them automatically.

It is also possible to set up Thunderbird calender to sync for offline use.
