Also, it is very often the case, that you find a venue with a free
weekend slot, and it stays in that slot year after year. I used to help
organise a major event, and it stayed in the same weekend because other
events occur for the other weekends and can't be moved. We used to block
book 2-3 years ahead to make sure we had a venue. Booking the same weekend
can also be cheaper, especially if reserving a 2nd 3 rd year.
Finding venues, and free weekends, seems to have become a nightmare in the
last few years.
