2009 Calendar Dates

by **MMK** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 9:11 pm

Does anyone know any good and/or reliable websites which will have the holiday dates etc. for 2009 (the correct dates). I don't want to miss any out or put a holiday on the wrong day :wink:

.

Thanks

(I know all birthdays of the Spectrum personnel.)

You can get them on Google if you search for them. Always use official (government) sites where possible.
However, some dates are not confirmed this far in advance. Looking in a UK diary should give you major UK Bank Holidays and festivals like Easter etc for next year, and some also give International days when businesses are going to be closed.
Some dates don't change - 4th July is always Independence Day - for example, - the changes are only where, for example, the religious festival depends on lunar phases, or a day off is given in lieu of the actual holiday - by which I mean our MayDay bank holiday is the nearest Monday after 1st May...
I would have thought putting the dates in wasn't your main problem though. Don't you have to make the calendar first?

So, I should wait until later in the year then?

Parker and I have sorted out how we are going to design this calendar.
All is going to plan, so far :wink:

To all the designers of the previous calendars:
Are all the holidays 'mentioned' in the previous years calendars all the 'common' and/or important ones? I don't want to miss any out that should be included.

It's still early in the year, I know, but I want to know which holiday dates to search for.

Thank you for your time

Isn't what should or shouldn't be included, your decision as the designer of the calendar?

How about major UK, US, Canadian and Australian public holidays, plus Anderverse dates such as the lead characters' birthdays. Other than that - research important production dates, e.g. Gerry Anderson's birthday, first Scarlet TX, first network Scarlet TX, and so on. Use your imagination and Google. Also the Fanderson website has useful info.

Thanks for all your help!

(It was the major public holidays of the US, Canada and Australia, that I didn't know)

Now I can get on with the rest of the calendar :wink:
