Night Closures

I see from threads posted last week by Buster and CAP493 that runway closures start tonight.

I've just looked at the NOTAM on the NATS website and am confused

Q)EGTT/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5152N00022W005
B)06/10/01 06:36 UTC C)06/11/30 04:45 AGA (A2510/06)
E)RWY 08/26 CLOSED MON-SAT 2259-0445. RWY WILL OPR WITH FULL CAT 3
AERONAUTICAL GROUND LIGHTING. FULL DETAILS AVBL IN SUPP S6/2006.
Now if I read the NOTAM correctly, the airport is only open Sunday night/ Monday morning ... but CAP493 mention the airport being open on Saturday and Sunday nights. Which is correct please?

In addition, surely the NOTAM needs to be altered to take account of the change from BST to UTC at the end of October ... or is the airport really going to close at 22.59 local?
