Saturday 17 December will welcome the Open Men’s Madison National Championship event, as it was postponed in April this year due to bad weather. There will also be an Open Women’s Madison event – a first time for a National Title.
In between these events, will be smaller competitions and races throughout the day.
On the morning of Sunday 18 December, the Track Inter-provincials will be taking place, where provinces will be competing for the President’s trophy.
