Tick, tock tock, tick tick, tock, tick tick tick

Well, what has happened to the clock? Never heard about British summer time? galloping ahead? A parishioner writes:



Good morning all,
 
Some weeks ago the whole of the United Kingdom moved forward 1 hour into British summer time (although the weather disagreed) but it seems Cranfield missed out on this momentous occasion, Why?  Because the church clock has not been changed!!!!!
 
I, and many others, would appreciate it if the Parish Council could arrange for the clock to be adjusted as a matter of urgency, as I am running out of excuses for sleeping in.
 
Many thanks in advance

And a parish councillor writes:
I agree it is also about ten minutes fast now so is only 50 mins out of sync with the rest of the universe

 



The answer is this: Smiths of Derby are coming later this month to do the service and ensure the clock is adjusted. They are also doing a tutorial on adjusting the clock so that we can sort this out locally in future.  I have 2 volunteers who are joining me in this project so that we can ensure that we maintain CMT (Cranfield Mean Time) for the foreseeable future
