"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 .
