I found this absolutely wonderful answer, which helped me cobble together a script. Bear with me, I'm not the most educated at the Google Apps Script, but I'm getting there!
Create Google Calendar Events from Spreadsheet but prevent duplicates
This is specifically to show how to prevent duplicates, but this is unfortunately my specific problem. I've worked out that it's due to my script not creating the eventids on the spreadsheet, that my script is supposed to recognise and therefore avoid a duplicate.
Can anyone help me with where I've gone wrong?
This is how the headers on my spreadsheet are lined up, the bolded ones actually apply to the script:
0 Date Deposited | 1 Customer | 2 Date Finals | 3 Outbound |4 Inbound| 5 AST - TY |6 AST - BV|7 Seats|8 Meals|9 FF |10 Bedding |11 Special |12 WHC|13 Docs|14 Blank |15 Start Time |16 End Time|17 EventID WHC|18 WHC Title |19 Docs Title |20 EventID Docs
/**

* for invoking the exportEvents() function.
* The onOpen() function, when defined, is automatically invoked whenever the
* spreadsheet is opened.

EDIT: This is what I tried, after seeing the comments from Serge, same columns as above, but it still won't populate the eventID column, eg 17 :(

Here is the script adapted to your column setup. I removed the parts that you didn't use.
test sheet available here
function onOpen() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var entries = [{
name : "Export Events",
functionName : "exportEvents"
}];
sheet.addMenu("Calendar Actions", entries);
};
/**
* Export events from spreadsheet to calendar
*/
function exportEvents() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var headerRows = 2; // Number of rows of header info (to skip)
var range = sheet.getDataRange();
var data = range.getValues();
var calId = "insas.be_79s808un50h66cm5d2pi19oeb0@group.calendar.google.com";// use default claendar for tests
var cal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(calId);
for (i in data) {
if (i < headerRows) continue; // Skip header row(s)
var row = data[i];
var date = new Date(row[12]); // WHC
var title = row[18]; // WHC Title
var tstart = setTimeToDate(date,row[15]);// start time
var tstop = setTimeToDate(date,row[16]);// end time
Logger.log('date = '+date+'tstart = '+tstart+' tstop = '+tstop);
var id = row[17]; //EventID WHC
// Check if event already exists, update it if it does
