The speedway season at Armadale is now just round the corner and Scotwaste Monarchs fans will have their first chance of the year to see the whole team in action when the riders take to the track for a practice session on Friday 16th March.

Co-promoter, John Campbell said, “The riders will be on track from six o’clock on Friday and the stadium gates will be open for everyone to see the riders in action. The whole team will be present plus a few guests so we expect that there will be some action on the track for about two hours. After that we’ll adjourn to the bar at about eight o’clock when we’ll have a “Meet the Riders” session to give everyone the chance to see our new look team.”

Campbell put out a call to any other riders who may wish to come along on the night. “We’re hoping to get some second half races organised again this season. Last year we simply ran out of riders to give us some interesting racing but I hope that we can gather enough riders together again to put on a second half show. Anyone who is interested in taking part on Friday and in our second half races throughout the season should give me a ring or drop me an email.”

Friday’s event is completely free to all supporters and everything is expected to be done and dusted by 10.00pm.

Anyone who can help in placing one of the Posters that John is holding above should contact the stadium, at any time, on 01501 734404 or email info@edinburghmonarchs.co.
