Most recent change: 20090119 - removed Cassegrain for the coming year.
Note that the continuous WFCAM block does not mean that there will not
be breaks (due to cryo maintenance etc.)
Monthly Loading, Semester 07B - 09B
Revised 20090119, on the basis of WF-only operation from February 2009.
Proportions prior to this were 8/22 = 27%/73% Cass/WFCAM.
