Daylight Savings Time Reminder!!!

[dawn_felagund]

The United States and Canada switched to daylight savings time this morning. The United Kingdom does not change to daylight savings time until March 25, and since we use GMT for our schedule for B2MeM, that means that, for some participants, the posting time for new bingo numbers changes, as does the time when old numbers are closed.

Until March 25, new bingo numbers will be posted no later than 8 PM EST. Old numbers will be removed no earlier than 8 PM EST.

I'll post another notice when the times change in the UK so everyone remembers to adjust their schedules again, if necessary.

Just to be technical - is it midnight GMT you are using (which does not change at all throughout the year) or is it midnight UK time - which does change. We are on GMT at the moment but go to BST (British Summer Time) on 25th March.

Sorry - you can tell I am an engineer by profession - I tend to try to be precise. Plus people calling UK time GMT tends to be one of my little bugbears as it is not factually correct - GMT never changes - our time does. It is something that cause fun with my MMO gaming where people tend to get confused about times frequently.

Thanks for clarifying that, as I didn't know that particular factoid of information. :) I'll stick with GMT then and make a note on the 25th when that will mean a different posting time for those on BST.
