Abstract: Given $b>1$ and $yinmathbbR/mathbbZ$, we consider the set of $xinmathbbR$ such that $y$ is not a limit point of the sequence $$. Such sets are known to have full Hausdorff dimension, and in many cases have been shown to have a stronger property of being winning in the sense of Schmidt. In this paper, by utilizing Schmidt games, we prove that these sets and their bi-Lipschitz images must intersect with `sufficiently regular' fractals $KsubsetmathbbR$ (that is, supporting measures $mu$ satisfying certain decay conditions). Furthermore, the intersection has full dimension in $K$ if $mu$ satisfies a power law (this holds for example if $K$ is the middle third Cantor set). Thus it follows that the set of numbers in the middle third Cantor set which are normal to no base has dimension $log2/log3$.
