</tbody>[/TABLE]

i have a another sheet where i want to be able to select a name from a validated List of Names , and return the correct dates for each of the events listed.

i don't want to have to copy the names down, against the events as there are 100s of names and events.
thanks for any help anyone can give.

This assumes you are using a validation drop down list. You did not specify where on "another sheet" you have the list but the code below uses cell A1 of Sheet 2 to illustate the method. You can change the code to reflect the correct cell for the drop down list.
Code: 
Sub t()
Dim sh1 As Worksheet, sh2 As Worksheet, fn As Range, rng As Range, cel As Range
Set sh1 = Sheets(1)
Set sh2 = Sheets(2)
lr = sh1.Cells.Find("*", , xlValues, xlPart, xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
    If sh2.Range("A1") <> "" Then
        Set fn = sh1.Range("A:A").Find(sh2.Range("A1").Value, , xlValues, xlWhole)
            If Not fn Is Nothing Then
                If fn.End(xlDown).Row > lr Then
                    Set cel = sh1.Cells(lr, 3)
                Else
                    Set cel = fn.End(xlDown).Offset(-1, 2)
                End If
                Set rng = sh1.Range(fn.Offset(2, 1), cel)
            End If
        rng.Copy sh2.Range("B3")
    End If
End Sub
