For 2027–28, do not copy 2026–27 day-level dates forward. Rebuild the holiday master from new circulars when they appear.

Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
