The official dates aren't due from BW Wigan for a while, you are correct. However, armed with the tide tables we have been able to predict the likely dates and so we have a preference in mind. Doesn't mean we shall get the requested dates though ! Doesn't mean the predictions are correct either ! I had set about the task of predicting the dates myself but not got very far. Fortunately I know a man who had finished the task and we spent some time in a pub, reviewing the results. Beeky
