That's your official start date. A lot of casuals get asked to come in earlier. A few years ago, my start date was 8th December, but they asked me to start on 19th November.

It is a typical timescale. You are essentially being hired for the Christmas period which is normally December up to Christmas but some casuals sometimes start earlier in November and may go into January - dependent upon the needs of your particular RM site.
