    When it change to March Laverty Stoutt holiday weekend Next yr, they can still keep the Saturday as their tramp day and it will be bigger, no religious interference...Then the Parade on the Monday Laverty Stoutt day. Saw this been suggested, I am in full support...In the BVI changes are difficult because everyone wants to be boss, everyone wants their way, With weak politicians, nothing get done..It need to change..
