Ah ok,

I had read this document, the reason I didn't find what I was looking 
for was that the associations in here were all opposite to my needs, eg 
- one of the examples is

time_range = (Time.now.midnight - 1.day)..Time.now.midnight
Client.joins(:orders).where(:orders => {:created_at => time_range})

where a Client presumably has_many orders, and an Order belongs_to a 
client.

I was looking for something like as you say:

Event.join(:venue).where(:venue => { :locality => "London" })

where an Event belongs_to a Venue, and a venue has many events. looking 
that way round

Unfortunately, the exact line you give returns

undefined method `join' for #<Class:0x104b2fd68>

trying 'joins' instead returns:

SQLite3::SQLException: no such column: venue.locality: SELECT "events".* 
FROM "events" INNER JOIN "venues" ON "venues"."id" = "events"."venue_id" 
WHERE ("venue"."locality" = 'London')

there definitely is a column in venue called locality!

I think I tried this as part of my searching, but kept getting errors 
along these lines.

Is there an easy way to make the query, when an Event belongs_to a 
Venue, and I'm searching using an attribute in the Venue model.

Thanks for your help

Mike
