More than two hundred will gather at the Hilton Edinburgh Airport for the End of Season Dinner Dance, the major social occasion in the Scotwaste Monarchs calendar.

It is anticipated that nine riders who were part of the Championship winning team at some stage of the season will be present. From its early beginnings, more than twenty years ago, the event has grown in stature with each year and is now considered to be a "must attend" occasion by many.

Those who are arriving by car and not staying the night are advised that, having entered the hotel car park, the should proceed down the side of the hotel to the back of the building and park there. It is a much shorter walk to the function suite.

All are reminded to arrive from 6.30pm onwards and be ready to be in their seats for dinner at 7.00pm prompt. This year the event has a slightly later finish time at 1.30pm to give those who always crowd the dance floor more time to impress the judges!
