the British Airways flight schedule in Bermuda.

That is because Daylight Saving Time begins one week earlier in the United Kingdom than it does in Bermuda.

Bermudians set their clocks ahead one hour at 2 a.m. on April 4. But in the UK, the time change took place yesterday.

Mr. Philip Troake, British Airways local manager, said passengers should check the times on their tickets. "We are concerned that people may forget that airline schedules are affected each year by the different daylight saving times in the UK and Bermuda,'' he said.

Tomorrow, Thursday, and on Saturday, April 3, the BA flights from Bermuda will depart at the earlier time of 7.10 p.m., arriving in London at 6.55 a.m. The departure time from Gatwick in London will remain 3 p.m., but the flights will arrive in Bermuda one hour earlier, at 5.20 p.m.

The new summer schedule begins tomorrow and runs until October 23. All flights as of next week leave Bermuda at 8.10 p.m. and arrive in London at 6.55 a.m.

Flights will leave Gatwick at 3 p.m. and arrive in Bermuda at 6.20 p.m.

FUTURE OF TOURISM UNDER DISCUSSION TOU Future of tourism under discussion The Commission on Competitiveness will stage a series of public meetings this week to discuss the future of the tourism industry.

Commission coordinator Mr. Mansfield (Jimmy) Brock, said the public forums would also focus on ideas for new industries for the Island's economy.

"We are already looking at some new ideas that we garnered from our telephone survey,'' Mr. Brock said. "But we are also looking for ideas from the public.

"The criteria for future opportunities is that they have to earn foreign exchange for the Country and it needs to be non-labour intensive and non-space intensive.'' Mr. Brock said Mr. Richard Butterfield, who is chairing the international business committee, Mr. James Masters, chairman of the tourism committee and Mr. John Collis, chairman of the new opportunities committee, would be present.

Mr. Brock said he would be in the chair at the forums which are at St. James' Church Hall in Sandys on Tuesday, Number One Shed in Hamilton on Wednesday and at the Town Hall in St. George's on Thursday. All meetings begin at 8 p.m.

The money was raised through donations at the door at Hamilton's Princess Hotel, where the quiz finals were held.
