Re: Happy Camping!

This whole issue begs the question of how many people actually
celebrate Easter?

My wife's church isn't full at that time, which for an estate of
several thousand people suggests that its a very small percentage.

Perhaps we could look at reviewingthe whole public holiday
arrnagements, I would far prefer to have a 4 day weekend 4 times a year
rather than what we have now.

They could be flexed a few days either way but Christmas and boxing day
could stay. Easter moved to end of March, the two may holidays moved to
end of June, and August B/H and New Years day moved to end of
September.
