I seriously was going to try to get over but I'll leave it to next year. I have been over in the past and supported and sponsored a few riders...

In the meantime Best Wishes to all participants.

Also will someone give my best wishes to the members of the BSA Owners Club who are arriving on the Island tonight....FROM AMERICA. Should be one big party.

Tell me is Bill Snelling re-enacting his first attempt 30 years ago... ??

The BSA Club are still a happy bunch, despite being up to their hocks in Glen Lough mud!

The MMCC have asked me to flag the Newcomers away on Monday as I was the first of their ilk to face the flag in 1978; it doesn't seem that long ago!

Any pics of Bill Snelling being Starting Man please ?

Would like to see some if anyone took any.

I hope this auspicious occasion was recorded for posterity......
