DUE to a severe weather warning for Monday, Swindon Speedway has switched their 2008 Season Launch to Thursday 13 March.
Regrettably, because of the late change, supporters and fans will not now be able to come along and catch their first glimpse of the riders in action.
Promoter Alun Rossiter said: ‘It’s a great shame that the public will not now be able to come along and I realise that many people will be disappointed by this.
'Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about the weather and the forecast for Monday is dreadful.
‘There is good news, though; Travis McGowan has had the plate removed from his shoulder and reports no side effects. He will be taking to the track with all of the other riders on Thursday.’
A revised schedule for Thursday 13 March follows:
1.00 p.m. Coffee reception in the Legends’ Lounge for press, media, sponsors and guests. Informal opportunity to mingle with the 2008 Robins.
2.30 p.m. approx. Press photo call in the pits (for stills).
3.00 p.m.-3.15 p.m. approx. Riders take to the track for practice. Opportunity for action photography and filming by members of the press and media.
