It’s that time again
In the early hours of Sunday 27th March 2016 the clocks went forward an hour as the UK converted to ‘British Summer Time’. This means that the evening will have more daylight, and the mornings less.
This change is done in part due to a European directive that all European countries must implement a common ‘summer time’.
Why are you telling us
But why are we posting this information here on the Virtual Mosque blog? How does this affect us?
Well due to this change the Jum’ah (Friday) Prayers will start thirty minutes later at 1.00pm BST. Therefore our live broadcasts will start airing from around 12.55pm on Fridays instead of 12.25pm so please do make a note of the change otherwise you could end up missing some or all of the Khutba and Prayers.
