I think that if you were to change their accounts to 'Power User' access,
then remove 'Power Users' from the item : "Change the system time" in the
'Group Policy Editor' (found in : 'Computer Configuration' > 'Windows
Settings' > 'Security Settings' > 'Local Policies' > 'User Rights
Assignment')
This would stop the user from changing the system time but allow the user to
change the time zone using: TimeZone Command-Line Editor -

Although it is a tiny bit complex - you could make two (or even three,
depending on the size of the users brain) batch files for them to
'double-click' on, that change the TZ to pre-specified values and named
something relevant (e.g. BST.bat, EST.bat GMT.bat, etc).
Hope that's given you some more ideas.
