THE CAROLE NASH INTERNATIONAL MOTORCYCLE & SCOOTER SHOW 2009 (27th November-6th December)
The Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show is an annual show held at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham and is widely regarded as the showcase for the UK motorcycle industry. The show is the third largest annual consumer event in the UK, attracting over 134,000 visitors in 2008. The show is open for ten days. The first day is set aside for press and trade visitors (8am - 6pm); day 2 is Preview Day (9am to 6pm), which offers visitors the chance to pay an increased ticket price for an exclusive view of the show; the remaining days are open as normal to the public from 10am to 6pm. By creating a truly unique show, 2009 will stand out like no other motorcycle show, say the organisers. The UK’s showcase motorcycle exhibition will offer an incredible selection of manufacturers – of not just bikes but accessories and components; a truly interactive show, essential rider wear and exhibits to spark the imagination, whilst educating and enlightening visitors of all ages as to what the industry has to offer. Feature areas spread throughout the show will offer exciting, interesting and interactive entertainment for visitors. Historically the split of male and female visitors has remained at roughly 80% male and 20% female. The average age of visitors to the show is 35-49. Further demographic details are available on request. The show prides itself on offering entertainment and hospitality unequalled by any other motorcycle show or consumer exhibition. Sponsorship packages can be tailored to customer requirements and budget. Further details of the show can be found on the website. Contact: Gina Evans.

LEON HUNT
Leon Hunt's racing career began on board an Aprillia RS125 in 2003. He raced in the National Superteen Championship, where at the end of the year he was selected for the ACU Academy. Based on his ability, he was one of only a handful of riders to join the academy from the UK. During the championship, Leon took six wins and ten podiums. In 2005, he progressed to 600cc machines, competing in the R6 Cup, having five top five finishes and taking tenth overall in the championship, after competing in only six races due to injury. In 2007, he joined the World Superbike Paddock, racing for CRS Grand Prix, an Italian team using Honda 600s. Gaining a guest ride in the Triumph 675 challenge, Leon managed to take both wins and break the lap record by over a second. 2008 saw him come back from injury and take a number of top placings and a podium on a very limited budget. Leon has signed up with Co-ordit Performance in this year's BSB Superstock 600 class and is now looking for additional sponsorship to fund his ride. BSB is covered by Sky television and all major racing publications. Leon is a main title contender this season - and is looking for sponsorship to continue his programme and to take him to the next level. He is managed by Atomic Tangerine Ltd, where all contact should be made by potental sponsors wishing to receive further information. Contact: Lee Eld.

WORTHY EVENTS LTD.
Worthy Events has recently been asked by Orange County Choppers to bring their OCC Live show to the UK. The OCC Live show has never toured outside the US and brings a new format to the UK stage. The event consists of Paul SR (Company Director) having a biker build off with his son Paul JR (Master Fabricator) on stage. The audience is able to participate by selecting the parts from two large screens. The bike is then built on stage and the entire bike building process is displayed to the audience. The OCC Live show is compèred by Mikey, who is the comical son of Paul SR. The show is also backed by the OCC Band, who have toured extensively across the US, Australia, Brazil and Canada and have opened for such big names as Lynyrd Skynyrd, POD and Candlebox. In the coming months the marketing plan will start to evolve and this involves both UK and US marketing. OCC has a TV show on the Discovery Channel entitled American Chopper and Discovery will be advertising both in the UK and US. Discovery has also been asked to film live on tour. Over 500,000 promotional materials will be sent out to the venue areas, which include Manchester, Liverpool, London, Sheffield, Belfast, Dublin, Scotland, Nottingham and Newcastle, along with radio advertisements in each area. The marketing objectives are set to be big and to bring extensive brand awareness to both the sponsor and the event. "Many sponsorship packages are available from billboard sponsorship up to full event sponsorship - so we will be able to tailor a package to your company needs. Please contact Matthew Worthington for more information and he will be more than happy to discuss all your requirements". Contact: Matthew Worthington. Tel.: 01253 352634.

SMC/0001 BARRY DUNSTAN
Barry Dunstan is a twenty-two year old motorcycle racer who in only two years hasn't only won a lot of races - he's also caught the attention of many motorcycle fans for his hard training but fun personality. In Barry's impressive first year in the sport he won the Rookie Minitwin championship, finishing third overall in the Clubman Minitwin championship. Barry also won the Steve Learoyd Shield for being the best new rider in the motorcycle club BEMSEE. Whilst in 2007 Barry struggled on his Suzuki SV 650 in the premier Dyna Pro Minitwin championship - mainly due to bad luck and lack of knowledge with the bike set up - he kept pushing, and despite his lack of experience in comparison with that of his rivals, he solved the problems with the bike, achieved no less than fifteen podium finishes and finished third overall. Barry has again been training hard, this time in preparation for the 2008 championship and with a new bike (Suzuki GSXR 1000) comes new determination from the youngster, who is setting his sights high for next year. Barry sees this coming year as a big step towards motorcycle success and knows the racing will be hard in the MRO Superstock Championship. He maintains his own bike and van, both of which are always kept very clean and always look professional. Many riders travel abroad for winter testing while Barry is left trying to ride in cold, cold England, giving his opponents a head start straight away. A main financial sponsor is needed for the next year to give him the best chance of success possible, something that he overly deserves. Any form of sponsorship would be hugely appreciated - Barry is always prepared to compromise to keep people happy, and will of course be delighted to listen to suggestions that any sponsor may have.

SMC/0003 MG RACING
In the seven years that he has been racing, Mike has won BEMSEE and MRO 600 championships and competed in the British Supersport Privateers Cup. He took time away from road racing in 2007 so that he could clear some of his debts. In order to keep up his race skills and fitness levels, he went motocross racing. He acquired a Suzuki GSXR1000 so that he could get back to road racing at national level. He has won several times on 600 bikes and wanted a new challenge in powerbikes. In 2008, he entered three meetings at his 'local' track, Brands Hatch, and was self-financed with help from family and friends. He was second in May and July, and in September won two powerbike races and the Champion of Brands title for the second time. For 2009 there are several options open to a potential sponsor: British Superstock 1000, Thundersports GB Powerbikes or MRO Powerbikes. Mike enjoys good local press coverage and the first two options are to be televised. He is very happy to co-operate in promoting his sponsors. A sponsor's name and logo would be featured on publicity material, included in press releases, linked from the teams website, etc. Mike has the bike and practical support to race this season - he just needs financial backing and he will be on the podium with his sponsor's name! More details of Mike's race experience are available on his website. For details of Mike's race experience, please look at his website or contact him by e-mail. Contact: Mike Goodfellow. Tel.: 01483 548150. Address: 29 Rydelands, Cranleigh, Surrey GU6 7DD. E-mail: mikey@rydelands.fsnet.co.uk.
