PORT OFFICE RE-OPENS

The Royal Automobile Club has re-opened its port office at Ardrossan Harbour for the 1970 season.

Mr. Kenneth Sheridan, manager of the R.A.C. West of Scotland, announcing the re-opening said :
"This will be the third successive year that the Club has provided full port facilities for motorists at Ardrossan. It was clear when Burns & Laird first inaugurated the "Lion" service from Ardrossan to Belfast that this crossing would be popular with motorists. Results have justified this view and shown that the establishment of an RAC office in this terminal was a good decision."
