Hello,

We try our best when posting event announcements to include GMT.  I'm quite sure most of them have this time conversion, but in case something shouldn't you can always subtract 5 hours from an Eastern Time figure and have your GMT equivalent.

 

Hopes this helps,

John

No sorry John!

 

Only during winter time gap between EST and GMT is 5 hours. During summertime - and we have that now - it is 4 hours. Around 15 years ago time setting around the globe became dynamic.

 

Last weekend I noticed around 200 spectators were 1 hour late for Vugraph. We discussed at the end of the session and I now see you have corrected web-site information to the correct for now: 4 hours.

 

For your information, on the southern part of the globe the time setting switches the other way around due to summer when we have winter.

 

Here is a link for world clock fixed at time for beginning on first session in next Vugraph: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixe...=0&sec=0&p1=179

 

My suggestion therefore will be not to use GMT but to use dynamic fix points instead. Maybe a fixed world clock link or CET(Rome-Paris-Berlin-Warzaw-Sofia) which always will be EST -6.

 

I appreciate very much I see you provide the european time information in 24 hours notation.

I posted this back when we were in Standard time in this country. Indeed, the 4 hour difference across the Atlantic is now in effect.

 

GMT is most widely recognized so we are likely going to base everything on ET and GMT.

 

Take care,

John

Hi all

Thanks Claus for usefull info n time zones.

One Small correction: CET (Central European Time) does not include Sofia ( if you got your info from Windows built-in clock - there is a mistake LOL)

Geographical Bulgarian time is GMT+2 and we use DST (Daylight saving time) so in summer our time is GMT+3.

At www.timeanddate.com all info seems correct.

Regards

Rado
