Sorry to inform you Guys,but it is next week!!!


The feast day of St George, patron saint of England and several other countries, is usually on April 23rd.

However, the church calendar has complicated rules on which days are more important than others and the less important ones get moved about, or "transferred" in the technical parlance. When 23rd April is a Sunday, St Georges Day moves to the nearest weekday, i.e. Monday 24th April.

2011 is even more interesting. In 2011, April 23rd is Holy Saturday (the day between Good Friday and Easter Day) and that and all the following Holy Week up to Easter Saturday (30th April) take precedence. So humble St George's Day finds itself moved all the way to Monday 2nd May!!

At least you can have two BBQ's!!
