CHRIS JONES MEMORIAL FUND
22 March 2006 - Chris Jones Fund

Open letter from Steve Brookes

Hi, I’m Steve Brookes and I work for Putoline Oil. Bike racing’s my first love and I’m
fortunate enough to be around some of the teams and people in my line of work.

I was, like so many of you, left badly shocked by losing one of the sports’ brightest
emerging talents. Chris Jones, who was only 14 but had already demonstrated his
huge potential in winning the 2004 MRO 125GP championship and in tasting victory
on the Red Bull Rookies machine at BSB level last year; his tragic death at Cadwell
Park stole this talent away from us.

More importantly, he was lost to his parents Pam and Clive , his sister Lucy and
beyond. They are bravely continuing with their Motorcycle business in Droitwich and
have founded the Chris Jones Memorial Fund which has already had tremendous
support, but wish to officially launch the fund to the racing and industry communities
to help realise their wish to purchase a trackside scanner which will allow medics to
assess rider injuries and provide immediate diagnosis or vital details for hospitals.
This piece of kit is around £100,000.

To give this fund the best possible start, I am honoured to have been asked by the
family to organise a Ten Pin bowling event to be held at Rotherham Superbowl on the
evening of Monday 10th July from 7.30 until around midnight.

There are 3 ways you can help-1.Paying £25 per person (maximum 8 to a lane), £15
to just be there(includes a quality buffet). 2. Providing a high quality prize for the on
night raffle. Or 3. A special piece of Racing Memorabilia that will be auctioned on
the night. I have already received incredible support for the initial plans and I can
promise some very special guests from the racing world and a sellout is assured for
this ticket only event.

You can help by doing any or ALL of the above! Please help and let’s get this superb
fund moving, for Chris ,his family and the future safety of racing. My contact details
are mobile 07967 480354,home 01709 721906(speak to my wife Glo if I’m not
there),fax 01709 721907 or at sbrookes23@btinternet.com .

Don’t hesitate to give me a call to discuss any ideas or if you need more information,
and thanks for reading.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Steve.
