Delete large number of calendar event items

Many of our schools that are using Sharepoint 2003 are using the calendar
for many different topics and as a result the number of events from the last
two or three years has grown to be quite large. I have been asked if there
is a "easy-button" for deleting the outdated events.
In short is there any scriptable methods to remove old entries? Maybe a SQL
Query?? I know MS frowns on that but I can't think of any other way...
Any ideas

You could use the object model to do this programmatically. It
wouldn't be too bad.

Or you could create a view that displays the items you want to delete,
switch the view to Datasheet view, then select the rows and hit Del.
