11th February 1994
UK PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
Agenda File for the Psion Series 3a
Having seen the U.S. public holiday Agenda file by Jaime Pereira for
the Series 3 and the 3a upgrade by Michael Geary, I thought that we
could do with an equivalent over here in the UK. So I shamelessly set
about cribbing their idea (and even this text file!) and converting
it to UK dates. I'm afraid it is Series 3a only, as the 3a Agenda
files are not downwardly compatible with the basic Series 3.
This file contains the sort of entries you would expect to find in
your average diary: bank holidays, summer times, religious dates
etc, from the year 1994 to 2005. Bank holidays are marked for England
and Wales only, though I have included some significant Scottish, Welsh
and Irish dates to keep everyone happy! At present I cannot find out
whether the proposed new bank holiday for the Autumn instead of May Day
is going ahead, but that does not affect 1994 anyway. I could also only
find out summer times for 1994 and 1995.
The Year View symbol varies with the different dates:
H for bank holidays.
A for for St. Valentine's Day, Mothering Sunday and Father's Day.
(If you forget one of these you will be in the same kind of trouble
as if you forget your anniversary!)
S for British Summer Times
None for other dates.
These are the dates included:

To use HOLI-UK.AGN, copy it into an \AGN directory and then use the
Merge In command in Agenda to merge it into your main Agenda file.
Select Entries in the Merge In dialog, so only the entries are merged
and not the preferences.
I have checked everything pretty thoroughly, but if there are any
errors or important omissions, or if anyone has any idea about summer
times or the new Autumn Bank Holiday, then please let me know.
Cheers,
