Make new appointments for the exception.

I'm not sure how that solves the problem.
If I delete that week's instance of the event in its original timeslot, and
create a brand new, non-recurring appointement for the rescheduled time,
Outlook will still replace the original deleted appointment with the standard
recurring one when I make a change to the whole series (e.g. add an end
date). Deleting the time the event wasn't held is as much an exception as
moving it to a different timeslot is. Sorry, I may be being inarticulate - I
hope what I've said is clear.

Thank you - that makes sense, even though the solution is a bit cumbersome.
