CEO of HM Plant, John Jones and his wife Kath were in attendance to meet the families and team manager Havier Beltran took groups across to the pits to see the bikes and answered countless questions. Havier then introduced the riders, to the families and  led a questions and answer session with the riders, before it was time for photographs and autographs… A truly memorable night which will 'live' with our members as they grow up, perhaps into the stars of tomorrow.  067
