We are pleased to welcome Harrisons, the Ford dealer of Peebles, as the sponsor of our first meeting of the 2017 season, on Friday 31st March, the Scottish Open Championship.

The Championship makes a return to our calendar for the first time since 2014 and Sam Masters will be back to defend his title.

Club Chairman, Alex Harkess said, "We always try to fit the Scottish Open into our calendar every year but it has become more difficult in recent years to put a field together during the height of the summer. We think that there will be greater rider availability at the start of the season to join the seven Monarchs in the lineup."

We are pleased to welcome Harrisons as the Championship sponsor. When Harrisons director David Macfarlane heard that we were planning to open the season with the Open he immediately came forward with sponsorship. David commented," We first sponsored this meeting in 2012 and enjoyed it, and have backed it on the three occasions it has been held since. We are happy to be involved again and we're looking forward to a great night."

We are also offering heat and rider sponsorship packages, both available at £120 each. The heat sponsorship offers admission and programme for 2 and hospitality for 2 in the Champions Lounge. Rider sponsorship offers admission and programme for 2 and the signed race jacket of the sponsored rider. Both packages will also receive a DVD of the Championship, You can reserve your package here and it will be a first come first choice situation for rider sponsors so if you wish to guarantee sponsoring your favourite rider.

Co-Promoter, John Campbell added, "We are going to make this a very special start to the season and we'll be announcing additional attractions in the weeks leading up to the event. We want everyone to return and enjoy a great night at Armadale Speedway."

More details of competing riders and other attractions will be announced in due course and advance tickets for the event will go on sale online on 1st March.
