I have in my possession a document, I gave the person who supplied me with it my word that I would not reveal his/her identity or where it came from. In there it states:-

"We will also be seeking to improve the relationship between the organisers and the major teams and top riders by appointing a specific liaison officer. This individual will be a "one stop shop" for liason BETWEEN THE PARTIES and as a Senior Official of the meeting WILL BE ABLE TO SOLVE ISSUES BEFORE THEY BECOME PROBLEMS OR CAUSE CONFLICT."

It also states in here:-

"The Department have negotiated an "in principle" twenty year licence with the ACU under which EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF THE RACES WILL BE LOCALLY VESTED. A LEGAL DOCUMENT TO GIVE FULL FORCE TO THIS IS ANTICIPATED TO BE CONCLUDED SOON.

Whilst the Department will remain central to the whole organisation of the event, responsibility for the actual racing on the TT Course will be delegated to the Manx Motorcycle Club.

The signing of a 20 year contract will also remove all doubt about the commitment of the Isle of Man Government to the future of te event "

So, tell me again how its not part of the rider liaison officers job to "liaise between the parties (which surely means ALL parties) to solve issues (which must mean ALL issues) before they become problems or cause conflict."

This must surely be a part of the "Rider Liaison Officers" job desciption, and if theyre not doing this then they must be purely "Rider Recruitment Officers" as has become completely apparent.
