The practise session scheduled for Saturday has fallen victim to the weather. The Armadale track is totally waterlogged after several weeks' almost incessant rain.
Although the weather forecast for this weekend is much improved there is insufficient time to prepare the track for Saturday afternoon.
If the weather improves, Monarchs may try to rearrange a practice session during the week. Check out the Monarchs' hotline on 0906-555-940 for details.
The official press and practice session is scheduled for Friday 17th March at Armadale starting at 3.00pm.
The full team should be present on Friday with Christian Henry having already arrived on Wednesday and Robert Eriksson due to sail in to Newcastle next Friday. Christian Henry was hoping to get in some practice at Berwick.
The first opportunity to see Edinburgh riders in competitive action will be at Ashfield on Sunday 19th March where Robert Eriksson and Blair Scott are in the main event of the individual 'Welcome to 2000' meeting.
