The British Under-21 Final will now be staged at Berwick on Tuesday, May 1 (7pm) and the event will be live-streamed.
The meeting was initially set to be staged on April 17 at Birmingham but the change was required as the Perry Barr venue is unavailable on a Tuesday.
Berwick Bandits bosses have welcomed the news that they will be hosting the event.
Scott Courtney, Bandits’ co-promoter, said: “We are delighted to be given such a prestigious event so early in our promoting career.
“Berwick has staged some fantastic events over the years and we are honoured to be given this opportunity.
“It’s great for the club and also the local area and to bring events like this to Berwick-upon-Tweed can only be a good thing.”
Damien Bates said: “With the new fixed race-nights of Monday and Wednesday at the top level, it also means Championship clubs are restricted over when they can stage meetings.
“Tuesday is the only night of the week which is unaffected and therefore this gives us the opportunity for a full field without affecting other meetings around the country.
“We’re very pleased to be taking the event to Berwick, with their forward-thinking promotion and the hard work that goes on behind the scenes at Shielfield Park.”
