I'm genuinely concerned of the amount of people that do not realise the difference between the GMT time zone and the current UK Time.

The UK is on GMT between mid-autumn and the beginning of spring. Currently, it is on daylight saving time (BST), which is GMT+1.

Please when scheduling events or End Battles in Clan award keep this change in mind...for most people this should be common sense, for others it's incredibly difficult to understand.

Meaning if someone says 5PM GMT it's actually 6PM in the UK.

That's why it's better to express times as UTC.

Times in the UK 2016-2017:
30 October 2016: DST ends, UK returns to GMT (UTC +0)
26 March 2017: DST begins, UK at BST (UTC +1)
29 October 2017: DST ends, UK at GMT (UTC +0).
Regards,
