The Progressive Labour Party has rescheduled its 52nd Founders Day and Drum Majors Awards Celebration from March 29 to April 12.

The change has been made to avoid a clash with the second leg of Bermuda’s World Cup qualifying round tie against Bahamas at National Stadium on the earlier date.

The Founders Day festivities will get under way at 4pm at the Sweeting-Ball Memorial Hall of the Bermuda Industrial Union.

Attendees will be treated to a keynote address by Jamahl Simmons, the Sandys South Member of Parliament and newest member of the parliamentary team.

Tickets are $30 and are available from PLP headquarters. The number to call is for tickets is 292-2264.

The PLP has requested that those who had made plans to attend to original date, instead turn out for the World Cup qualifier.
