Year Planner 2000

Using the Year-Planner

You will see that there are five scheduled weeks in the rota manager. This is because in any given month there may be up to five of a given day of the week. For example, in January, April, July, September and December of this year there are five Saturdays, but in the other months there are four.

When someone volunteers to fast, you should allocate them a day on the rota manager e.g. the fourth or fifth Wednesday of each month. Mark this up on a year planner as I have on the example sheet, and send it to them. Keep a note of who is allocated to each day, as people may well lose their rota and ask for another.

Doing it this way you have to make up five weeks for a full rota, and every month you have people doubling up at the end. I am sure you will agree that this can only be good but you may prefer to do things differently.

If, as I have, you decide to avoid Sundays and feast days as days for fasting, then I think it is a good idea to ask people to double up either the day before or the previous Friday so that you always have a least two people fasting on Fridays/Saturdays and the eve of feastdays.

I hope this is clear. If you have any problems or questions, Please feel free to email me.
