Choosing the wrong day?

The Fabian Society is holding a conference called Who Do We Want To Be? The Future of Britishness on 14 January 2006.

Interesting idea.

Described as:

"Join over 40 speakers and 800 delegates as Britain’s biggest think-tank conference unpacks the highly-charged themes of British identity, citizenship, diversity and integration."

And then you see the date:

Saturday January 14 2006.

Yes, it's on a Saturday and thereby eliminating anyone who is Jewish orthodox from attending on Shabbat.

One of the things all of us want from The future of Britishness is to see a more inclusive society.  That means more thought into the needs of people and making sure such events are actually inclusive by choosing a date that is suitable.

Surely, it could not have been difficult to choose a mid-week date to host this?
