Dave Elliott: what do the urls tend to look like? Are they fairly consistent?(eg calender.html?date=daymonthyear or something) If so ;you should block it through robots.txt or google webmaster tools. Either by block the style of parameters or by blocking the entire of calender.html ;
Hashim Warren: yes, it's fairly consistent. I'll use robots.txt
