Issue with setting the Club Time Zone & meeting times showing up for the Public

4 Aug 2026, 12:42 a.m.

Kenmore Toastmasters (Club 1813882) meets from 6.45pm on Monday nights in Brisbane, Australia. I went into the basic settings for the club and changed the Club Time Zone from GMT to Australia/Brisbane. When I go to the Public Site, the upcomings meetings are shown as being at Monday 6.45pm GMT. Likewise when I click on the yellow button "Plan Your Visit" the meetings are shown as being at 6.45pm GMT
But if I click on the white "View Meetings" button and it opens up a calendar, the meetings are shown as starting at 4.45am on Tuesdays

Should be fixed now. on the web the person will see those times as in their local time zone on their device.
We also fixed your Agendas to be AEST as well.

Thank you, that is much better. Just one more request about this: is it possible for the time to show 6.45 pm AEST rather than GMT+10? (without googling it, I am guessing that may people - including me - wouldn't know what time zone GMT+10 actually is!)
I have put a red rectangle around the item I am referring to, in the 2 sceenshots attached

I am not seeing that, it must be your local setup

OK, I understand - you are seeing 4.45 AM EDT because that is your local time zone. But note that it shows as EDT, not GMT-4 or UTC-4. That is my point.
Here in Australia we don't use the Time Zone name GMT+10, we use AEST. And Brisbane is different from Sydney and Melbourne in that we do not ever switch to Daylight Savings, so we stay on AEST all year round.
IF it is not possible to show AEST instead of GMT+10, can we at least be sure that our time will still show correctly from October, when Sydney and Melbourne who are currently on the same time as us (AEST) switch to AEDT for 6 months daylight savings?

I've attached 2 screenshots of my time zone settings. I am on a Windows PC. I don't have the option of selecting AEST!

Hi Jill
I see your meetings at 6.45pm AEST on my Windows 11 laptop in Brisbane Browser is MS Edge. What browser are you using?

What do you see for HOT? https://hot.toastmastersclubs.org/meetings/ It should be 12.28pm AEST

The browser I normally use is Google chrome. I checked for HOT Toastmasters, and see GMT+10 there as well.
BUT when I used my Firefox browser, I DO see AEST for Kenmore Toastmasters and for HOT Toastmasters

On my Mac Safari, Firefox and Chrome all display the time zone the same way. EDT

This is where life gets complicated with computers, no company reads the rules the same way.

Refresh the page and it should behave itself.
