Perhaps you should contemplate changing that to the 2nd Sunday of the month. That will avoid it landing too close to Christmas, Halloween, or New Years, so the odds of it clashing with parties and similar bookings go down (and the odds of it clashing with many potential attendees' holiday travel plans, too). I'm not sure when/if the UK celebrates Thanksgiving or (some analogue of) an Independence Day, though, so it could raise the odds of clashing with either of those. Easter moves around unpredictably so there's probably no reliable way to avoid that one. And the 2nd Sunday might land smack dab on Valentines Day. Picking a different weekday such as Wednesday would avoid exactly hitting Easter, and an exact day other than the 14th of the month V-day, but not both at once. I don't think those are as prone to resulting in rooms being booked, though, so it's probably not worth the bother to worry about those ones. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
