Sheene memorial dinner

A memorial black tie dinner is being held by the Friends of Barry Sheene MBE, with star riders set to attend including Gary Nixon, Marco Lucchinelli, Mick Grant, Dave Croxford, John Cooper and Paul Smart. And a guest star will be seated at every table.

Proceeds will go the the Kent Air Ambulance, and the host for the evening is Steve Parrish, so there are sure to be plenty of stories told first hand about the legendary racer.

There are just 150 places available, at £68 per head, and that price includes a three-course dinner, music, recollections of Barry Sheene MBE by his friends and fellow racers, footage of the legend in action, and a Classic Memorablia Auction.

So if you want to pay tribute to a racing legend, give money to a good cause, and share a table with another great racer, the event takes place at The Hilton Hotel, Dartford, Kent, on Sunday, August 1.
