I wasn't referring to summer as such, but the loss of hour's sleep from someone who could participate for his country in that category! ;-)
I've been told before that you need less sleep as you get older. In that case, meet the first person who's actually getting younger with time! ;-)

It does go forward on a Saturday night, so just have another hour in your pit on Sunday morning!

Clocks go forward 1 hour a week later here (USA), on 4 April (Palm Sunday).
Bad timing for us, as we're away at Nottingham for the weekend (see Auditorium posting) so there's one hour less for eating, chatting or sleeping :!:
The worst one for us was when the clocks changed on Easter Sunday morning, and we still had to be up for a sunrise service :shock:

So with the clocks changing it will be like leaving at 4.30 AM! :cry: :cry: :cry:
Ouch :shock: ! Are you in the first half of the draw then? Most of our band are staying in Torquay on Saturday night, so if anyone forgets we'll just go and wake them up!

Nightmare! Watford Band are having the first of 2 recording sessions on Sunday morning beginning at 8.30am, so it's going to be like 7.30am :shock:
Must remember to tell the band tonight.

I'd completely forgotten! Would be embarrassing if I "did a Muscroft" - Fred Muscroft, now 80 and top man at Driffield Silver, turned up an hour late to a gig this time last year because he'd forgotten to put the clocks forward!

This happened to me, but in a non-banding situation.
As a preacher in the Methodist Church I turned up for a service I was taking half an hour late after the steward phoned me whilst I was having my breakfast asking after my whereabouts.
I told them to sing through the hymns, have the readings and take the offertory until I got there, by which time I had to launch straight into the sermon! And just as you need to warm up before playing you also need to warm up before preaching!
