<<I just made a slight change to the club's calendar settings, so the
default time is now GMT-1:00 >>

[much scratching of head]. This is getting confusing. 7pm-11pm in GMT-1
is the same as 9pm-1am in current UK time because we're currently at
GMT+1 here, in case any UK members are wondering.

How about we just look at the chat room to see if there's anyone else
in it? The odd hour either way isn't going to make that much difference.

This is *such* a ridiculous problem considering the fact that this is
21st century planet earth! I had a conference call recently with three
Americans, dotted around the USA, and two of them thought the meeting
was starting an hour later than scheduled. Naturally, the whole thing
went pear-shaped.

I'm joining the Flat Earth Society and renouncing modern ways tomorrow
[er, apart from the chat room - that's *such* fun].
