There will be space for each North Region club to have a 6x3 gazebo on the home straight. Please contact James at james.tresman@hotmail.co.uk if you want to take advantage of this.
Clubs are welcome to set up during Saturday practice (no pegging down necessary.) These club areas will be for bikes and 1 or 2 club reps only.
All spectating is from the stands. Bikes are not allowed in the stands.
As the only access to and from the start hill is via a staircase at the back, parents will not be able to accompany their children to the top. Marshals will be on hand to help.
