Holiday Timings - Need International Input
 

I need to know what dates members will be on holidays from now until the end of March. I need to plan a few things, and it would help if I knew when holidays occured so that I could co-ordinate the best possible dates. It would be appreciated if a person from every country we have here could contribute (as I assume most countries run a uniformal holiday scheme). Also, if you live in different states (Australia, United States, etc) and the dates are different, could you also post and let me know.

Australia, New South Wales will be (generally) on holidays from:

20th December 2004 through to 28th January 2005. There are no other holiday breaks from then to the end of March.

Alcar...

Do you mean school holidays?

about the 17th December to the 3rd of January? It's normally around this time for Christmas.
Then there's the half term... around six or so weeks after that, which puts it at the end of Frebruary.

About the week/week and 1/2 surrounding Christmas.

Well I'm away from work from the 24th of Dec to the 2nd of Jan and the 11th to the 21st of Feb; which means I won't be visiting the forums as my home connection is slow as

i don't go to school anymore, so i can plan the holidays the way i want.


.:VaniLLaKiLLah:.

This Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Yes, School Holidays. Or Work holidays, like some of you have added :p

Could we please try asnd get exact dates? It would make it that bit easier :)

Alcar...

I don't see what is going on!
You're up to something!

Mwhahahahhahaha!

I am secretly planning a few events that I hope will eventuate. I just want to make sure that I accomodate for as many countries as I can. That way, more people, more fun! Yeeeeeee!

Alcar...

Edit:- they were wrong

17th - 3rd Jan : Xmas Hols

3rd Jan - 12th Jan : Holiday anyway

and I'm buys on the 3rd - 6th Dec :P

Oh and any Sundays-Wednesdays :P *picky

Every US citizen is going to have to give their own seperate holidays. It all comes down to individual school districts. Anyways...

Thanksgiving Break (Nov):
Monday the 22nd -> Friday the 26th

Christmas/New Years (December/January):
Monday the 20th -> Monday the 3rd (School returns on a Tuesday)

Martin Luther King Day (Jan):
Monday the 17th

Spring Break (March):
Friday the 18th -> Monday the 28th (School returns on a Tuesday)
[Note I will be gone, however, between the 18th and 21st on a band trip]

That should be it.

That is what I expected with the US residents. It is a nuisance, but one that must be dealt with. Haha, as soon as I have enough Holiday timings, I've still got to work out a proper timezone agreement :p

So keep those Holiday timings coming!

Alcar...

I would say for myself in my area from December 20th to January 28th.

21 December - 3 January

I'm in the UK, but I go to college, so my Xmas holidays start on the 10th December and I return on the 3rd/4th January.

After that its half term around about Valentine's day, but I only get 3 days off. :fuzmad:

We have the christmas holiday and then maybe something in february... I'll have to check the exact dates.
