Parent's evening or Parents' evening
I would say it is the latter, but whenever we have them at work it's always the former. I'm wanting the correct grammatical term for an entry I'm working on a for a competition. Any ideas?
Thanks,

It's like Mothers' Day/Mother's Day. The debate continues...
I brought up my own example of The Pensioners' lunch, quite evidently the correct form is as shown here.
However, what about Ploughmans' Lunch?
Ploughman's lunch is correct. If it was more than one man it would be ploughmen's lunch and the apostrophe would still be before the 's'. But in any case, it's quite easy to assume that it what a ploughman would have had. Singular.
