Syntax - delta for saturday preceding reminder

Hi,

Kind of new to remind. I have reminders for days
when my son's school is off. I'd like to set the
delta so that I get notified starting on the
preceding Saturday.

I read in the docs that the delta must be an
integer. But I assume there's a way to do this.

Any help appreciated,

This is a hack, but how about:

REM 6 April 2012 OMIT Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri +1 MSG School's out %b.

Check the manual to see why that works.  (Hint: deltas don't count
OMITted days.)

Regards,

David.
