The Early Morning Practice Bus..exciting news - thewitch - 13-05-2008
TTwebsite are delighted to announce that they have secured the services of Roy Hanks and Dave Wells, as commentators on the Early Morning Practice Bus this year.
You wouldn't get these two for less than £50 a ticket at any good theatre!
With their massive joint experience of the TT and their fantastic sense of humour, I expect this to be a highlight of your TT.
BOOK NOW, or forever wish you had.
Friday 30th May, TT Grandstand, 6am, leaving promptly(ish), and meandering round the course, with quizzes, raffles and scintillating commentary from Roy, Dave and Cargo Carr. Breakfast at Rosie's included. £25 per person
ALL proceeds this year to the Isle of Man BEN Fund.

About time we had some 'Proper' Racers on the Bus!
I know from my time of going round with Roy and Dave as a newcomer that this will be seriously good fun.
Good work Helen

I am so jealous. Shall be thinking of you all and hope you have a great time.
RE: The Early Morning Practice Bus..exciting news - thewitch - 14-05-2008
Still a few seats available, and a couple of exciting surprises lined up... book NOW!
RE: The Early Morning Practice Bus..exciting news - MV - 14-05-2008
Jan, we wish you could be there too!
Helen?
You are a legend!
So, no sign of our erstwhile Kiwi driver then?
RE: The Early Morning Practice Bus..exciting news - thewitch - 14-05-2008
Not so far... but I'm leaving the back door unlocked, just in case!

Is that where all the naughty boys will be
? At the back.
RE: The Early Morning Practice Bus..exciting news - thewitch - 14-05-2008
Just form an orderly queue will you, boys?
RE: The Early Morning Practice Bus..exciting news - thewitch - 24-05-2008
Just to remind you, still a few seats available, and a couple of exciting surprises lined up... book NOW!
As I will only be periodically at the computer I may take longer than usual to respond, but please PM me, and assume you are on the bus, unless there are new postings to say it's full.
It's still only £25, including breakfast, for the most informative and amusing guide to the TT course you will ever find!
See you next Friday

Steve, bring the laptop, and, even better, bring Tim and Patrick!! I know what you mean about being run ragged... but, oh,boy, it's fun!
Had my first session marshalling at the bottom of the pitlane...awesome! Love it! Thanks to all the lovely competitors who waved acknowledgement... you are ALL stars, by the way.

The bus tour was severely slowed this morning when Helen insisted that all the sidecar crews marooned around the circuit from last night should be picked up.

RE: The Early Morning Practice Bus..exciting news - thewitch - 01-06-2008
Well, here I am, now fully recovered from that eye-wateringly funny experience.
Thanks you so much to Roy and Dave (it's all his fault, apparently) and to Hilary and John Musson, first married couple to race solos at the TT. Thanks also to the Sulby Glen Hotel for a scrumptious breakfast (belated happy birthday to Viv!), to Protours for the bus and an excellent driver.
Most of all, thanks to all the lovely people who travelled with us. Your contributions meant we have been able to give the BEN Fund over £400.
Any photos gratefully received, and I hope you are all posting your postcards!
RE: The Early Morning Practice Bus..exciting news - cargo - 01-06-2008
I'd like to add my personal thanks to Helen for putting the whole thing together dispite what some many may think it IS Helen that runs the show.
Roy and Dave were brilliant (well Roy was
)
