What is a good way to automatically add these holidays to remind?
Also something that works without maintainance year after year would
be nice.
Here's what I have:
SET easter EASTERDATE(YEAR(TODAY()))
REM Mon 01 Jan MSG New Year's Day bank holiday%
REM [TRIGGER(easter - 2)] MSG Good Friday bank holiday%
REM [TRIGGER(easter + 1)] MSG Easter Monday bank holiday%
REM 29 Apr 2011 MSG Royal wedding bank holiday%
REM Mon 01 May MSG May Day bank holiday%
PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT
OMIT 28 May 2012
REM Mon 01 Jun --7 SKIP MSG Spring bank holiday%
REM 04 Jun 2012 MSG Spring bank holiday%
REM 05 Jun 2012 MSG Queen's Diamond Jubilee bank holiday%
POP-OMIT-CONTEXT
REM Mon 01 Sep -7 MSG Summer bank holiday%
REM Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri 25 Dec MSG Christmas Day bank holiday%
REM 27 Dec SATISFY [wkdaynum(trigdate() - 1) == 1] \
MSG Boxing Day bank holiday%
REM 26 Dec SATISFY [wkdaynum(trigdate()) >= 2 && \
wkdaynum(trigdate()) <= 5] MSG Boxing Day bank holiday%
REM 28 Dec SATISFY [wkdaynum(trigdate() - 2) == 0 || \
wkdaynum(trigdate() - 2) == 6] MSG Boxing Day bank holiday%
Note that these are for the bank holidays in England; I believe the rest of the
UK might have some slight variations. Last time I checked, these worked
according to the generally accepted definitions of these holidays. When I get
a bit more time (not likely in the near future) I'll add these to the remind
wiki.
Regards,
Andrew
