Latrobe moves to a two-day carnival

The sports carnivals association of Tasmania (SCAT), Australia has made the leap back up to two days for their Latrobe Carnival. The cycling carnival will aim for a better format in 2006 as organisers return to a two-day schedule, December 26 and 27, 2006.

Dennis Clarke, President of the Latrobe cycling club, believes that the two-day program will allow for some flexibility and will add to the series. "We are happy to announce that going to a two-day program allows us to expand the number of events and we have injected more prize money for competitors," said Clarke. "Spreading the events over two-days also allows us to shorten the program slightly to make it more exciting and interesting for the public."

President of sports carnivals association Grant Atkins notes that "The two-day program will enhance the series and provide the public with an extra chance to see some of the great talent on display."
