Hi Dan, It's worth considering creating a simple component for formatting a date (possibly just wrapping up the Insert component with a format as mentioned by Joel). That can ensure you're using the same format across your site and when your sponsors ask for some interesting extension (such as a change in format or the ability for users to choose between US-format and UK-format dates) then you'll be much happier :-)
While I'm at it, I'll plug one of my favourite open-source projects: http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/ which is a fantastically good replacement for Java's date and time classes.

The framework documentation site has an example of this: http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/tapestry/ComponentReference/Insert.html I have read the SimpleDateFormat class isn't threadsafe, so you might want to look at FastDateFormat which is part of the Apache Commons-lang library. Have a good one!
