Alan Wright has emailed me some details of the show:
"The special guests are more than just interesting. The main two amongst many present  are Peter Williams and Jeff Smith.  Peter the AJS ,Tom Arter, Norton   legend  was technically so far ahead of his time. His machine collection  will be there alongside so many other Road  racing machines. Jeff the World moto cross champion in 1964 and 1965,now resident in Wisconsin USA  is Charismatic, informative and as witty and sharp as ever. A collection of his championship winning machines is proceeding well! There is a dinner in his honour at which he will regale the audience of  190 people in the Holiday Inn on the Saturday night. A booking form is attached .

Other guests include Stan Dibben, the world champion sidecar passenger to the great Eric Oliver.Pete Mathia –ex GP and now still a regular Twin Shock winner . Dave Grant the manager of Graham Noyce Stefan Everts and “Magoo” Chandler. Brian  Wheeler, another GP moto cross man, who lots of people have opinions on –and who  has plenty to respond with!Yrjo vesterinen brings his 3 w/c winning Bultacos. As ever Sammy Miller is coming, this time  with his famous Ariel GOV132 and bringing along both Gordon Jackson and the very machine on which Gordon  won the SSDT  in 1961 -50 yrs on! Sam and Gordon will both be on the microphones –Sam on Road racing in the fifties –Gordon on the SSDT .   A winters tale many times over!
 Please try and support the show that aims to provide an authentic and exciting recollection of the heydays of past competition. We aim to be a lot more than a collection of Tool stands and tins of Wd 40 !"
