I think MV first sugested the idea.

The early morning trip round the course was to mark the passing of early morning practise still much missed by many.

On the way round we had some quiz questions and Nick Jefferies impressed us all with his course knowledge. I impressed all with my lack of knowledge.............. "so the apex is at that shadow"



We stopped at the Sulby Glen Hotel for breakfast and very lovely it was too................Rosie is the esteemed owner of the Sulby Glen famous for the fund raising that continues there all year round. And second home for THIS years Lightweight MGP winner (IMHO)


I'm sure Helen will remember how much money we raised. It was a jolly good morning and enjoyed by all.

Last year's effort, when the bus was full, raised £1000 for the Manx Grand Prix Supporters Club, towards the helicopter in practice week.
This year filling the bus will be a bit more difficult perhaps without all those Australians... unless another lot are coming? So far we have about 8 people, I think... any more up for it?
Y2 blade... you don't need to go to bed that morning, just come straight from the revels, and enjoy breakfast with us, a few quizzes and maybe win the auction or a raffle?
The proceeds will all go to the ACU Ben fund, Isle of Man branch, c/o Wyn Evans.
