The public is to have the chance to congratulate Manx cyclists Mark Cavendish and Jonny Bellis for their outstanding achievements this season.

A national tribute night is to take place at the Villa Marina next Monday to recognise their selection for the Great Britain team at the Beijing Olympics, and Mark's historic four stage victories at the Tour de France.

The evening will be hosted by Chief Minister Tony Brown.

Admission is free with doors opening at six o'clock. However, tickets guaranteeing a seat can be obtained from the National Sports Centre, the Villa and the Tourism Welcome Centre at the Sea Terminal.
