  4. Shiver Productions are developing an exciting new television programme for a major broadcaster.  

    They are looking for vibrant, fun and outgoing grandparents who may be interested in the project. They are hoping that there are Biker loving grandparents out there who may want to spend more time with their adult grandchildren (who must be 18 plus).  

    With grandparents reportedly only seeing their grandkids on average twice a year, it is not surprising the two generations often know little about each others lives.

    In ‘Gran Knows Best’, British grandparents will spend one-on-one time with their multiple grandchildren in an attempt to get to know them better and see if they can offer any help.

    Along the way they will learn about the pressures their grandchildren face, the lifestyle choices they make, their hopes for the future and what, if anything, is standing in their way of achieving them.

    The programme will allow grandparents to share their knowledge, advice and practical help while learning more about the lives, hopes and aspirations of their grandchildren.

    They are looking for amazing families now, so if you are interested or would like more information or you know someone who may fit the bill – please call Karen on 0207 157 4588 or email on [email protected]

    New Television Documentary Programme – Gran Knows Best

  5. Hannes Soomer and the WilSport Racedays Honda Team have won the 2017 edition of the FIM European Supersport Cup after a thrilling season finale at ‘Circuito de Jerez’ in southern Spain last Sunday. The 19-year-old Estonian rider entered the final round of the season with an 8-point advantage over his nearest rival Rob Hartog, and defended his leadership in the 19-lap World Supersport Spanish race by finishing 15th and claiming the title by the slimmest of margins – one point. Soomer and WilSport Racedays Honda win the 2017 ESS Cup

    Born on the 17th of February 1998 in Estonia’s capital city of Tallin, Soomer stepped foot on the international motorcycle racing scene by joining the WorldSBK’s former one-make, entry-level series – the European Junior Cup – at the early age of 15 in 2013. On board Honda machinery, Hannes built up a copious amount of experience around the European tracks of the World Superbike calendar, while proving to be one of the most talented and mature young talents in the championship.

    His results and performances led to the decision by former EJC Series Director Gerry Bryce to sign Soomer to compete on board a Honda CBR600RR machine in the FIM Europe Supersport Cup with team WilSport Racedays Honda. Soomer, on the Ten Kate Racing Products-prepared machine, made a stellar debut at Aragón last April where he was 9th overall. His consistency throughout the season allowed him to clinch the well-deserved trophy as the final event of 2017 drew to a close.
