There is nothing in Kingdom Law that says a Barony has to use its perpetual
date, just that they can have one.  It is one of the perks that becoming a
Barony earned you.  If a Barony feels that is does not want to declare one
of its events a perpetual date, so be it.  But don't single out those
Barony's who want their event on the same date each year.  To free up the
calender we could equalize the number of events that each group gets to
hold to 2 per year.  With roughly 40 groups that would still be 80 events
plus all the regular Kingdom events in 48 weekends per year
(Crown/Coronation weekends excluded).
