    Are they messing about with the dates for next year's Assen TT ?

    Booked time off work for next year's Assen dates, thinking it would be the last weekend in June and there are rumours it will be moved to 30 June / 01 July (which is not the last weekend in June !)

    If it is 01 July, I cannot go.

    An outrageous, outrage.

    Depends how you look at it! Some places the week starts on a Sunday so technically the 30th is the last weekend! It's just a case of suck it up buttercup

    I get what you are saying, but the term "weekend" has a specific meaning beyond just the start and stop days of the week.

    The first week following the quarter ends are impossible for me to take off work, so the first week of January, April, July and October following the December, March, June and September quarter ends are impossible.

    Pants !
