Oxford Silver Machine promoter Nigel Wagstaff will launch the 2004 campaign in dazzling style at the Park End Club in Oxford on Tuesday, March 9 (noon).

After a razzmatazz press launch, the public are invited to the Park End Club in the evening (7.30) to meet the Silver Machine's riders for this year's Elite League and Conference League campaign.

Admission is free and children, accompanied by an adult, are welcome.

The bars will be open and promoter Wagstaff is promising "a totally unique event".

Practice day will be the following day on March 10 at Oxford Stadium, starting at noon.

Both teams will be in action and there will also be some coaching for the younger riders from Oxford's No 1 Greg Hancock.

There will be a small charge for the public to attend.
