The year is filling up already

The start of 2011 means it's time to break out the latest calendar and start filling it in. The trouble with having hobbies is that you can book up weekends months and even years in advance. My railway exhibition calendar runs into 2013 already !

Then there are all the other places I want to be - Model Engineer and boats shows at the end of the autumn. And the oddball ones like the Large Scale Aircraft (16/17 July) Add to that the VW car shows (Stanford Hall 1st May, Vanfest 9 to 11 September and maybe I'll even make BVF) and the number of free weekends starts to diminish rapidly.

To be honest what I need is an extra weekend in the middle of the week, I wonder if the Government has thought of this ?
