Thursday Afternoon Drives - Change in Start Time

Please note that with effect from 19th January 2012, the Thursday afternoon bridge drives will commence at 13:00 hours instead of 13:30. The majority of attendees felt that this will allow an earlier finish which would be an advantage during winter months and allow travel during daylight hours.
