According to Mark Lewisohn (in 'The Complete Beatles Chronicle'), the date of Ringo joining the Beatles was Saturday 18 August, 2 days after Pete Best had been dismissed. The new-look Beatles performed at Hulme Hall, Port Sunlight, Birkenhead.
(btw...
The fab four played together for the first time at Saturday 15 October 1960, when they recorded 'Summertime'. Nine 78-rpm discs were cut!
Ringo sat in for Best at two engagemants on Monday 5 February 1962, lunchtime at Cavern Club and night at Kingsway Club, Southport.)
Blessed be Ringo!

Woah... thank you... I just updated this entry as per your suggestion of links OUTSIDE of h2g2!!! I'll try and add your vital information, when I get the chance(and when I think of it...)...
My source for "sometime in September" was based on Brian Epstein commentary and other sources available to me-- but not within immediate reach...
You know how that goes!! -- "I have a great idea, I want to get started on it, and get these thoughts down... and worry about it later..."
Not in keeping with that journalism class I took ever so long ago... hee hee hee... 
Blessed be Ringo!

Plenty of ideas, no writing!
(In fact, thats a *big* RL problem for me! 
)
You can find the information given above, in the linked webpages, but I will strongly recommend Mark Lewisohn's book if you will write anything about Beatles! It's gold!
(He was the one writing the notes for the Anthology-CD's, if you wasn't aware.)
The discography link has a bug.
Blessed be Ringo!

Poopy link...
My uncle, the biggest BEATLE fan in the family, just received the Anthology BOOK the other day... he thinks it is WOOOONDERFUL!!!
It was brought to him by a man on a flaming pie, by the way...
Lemmee check that link...
Blessed be Ringo!
Ottox Posted Oct 12, 2000

You mean to tell me you have NOT heard the story about the Man on the Flaming Pie!??
...woah...

Blessed be RINGO!!!!!
Ottox Posted Oct 12, 2000
I might have heard of both, but my memory has this big sign 'Out of order!' on it.
Blessed be RINGO!!!!!

Ottox Posted Oct 12, 2000

American Pie...
You're not a big help, you know! 
Blessed be RINGO!!!!!
Ottox Posted Oct 12, 2000
OK - I see! I *must* have read about the flaming pie!
I'm very tired, leaves it up to you to tell what time it is (And I won't admit that I still don't remember to have read about it before... Aaaarrggh... I *must* have! I must, I must... )
About the book I'll admit forgetting about it. I'm quite sure I've heard something, but that's a long time ago...
(And another thing I'm not very pleased to say: I don't think I ever heard Maccas Flaming Pie album)
Blessed be RINGO!!!!!
