"With regards to the MGP and Southern 100, the DTL will be working with the organisers of both events to maximise all promotional opportunities for their events. Speaking personally I have had meetings with representatives from both events in the last day. A highlights DVD or similar will always depend on the market for such a product of course."

I hope that all will work together to try whatever each suggests, to get the message out to the world that we have 3 fantastic events for people to come to.
I had never heard of the Southern100, in the late 70s, when a friend mentioned he was racing there. As it happens, the Southern100 is the only one of the 3 which fits in with school holidays in Scotland, so for many years after that, my family made the pilgrimage to the Southern.
When we could afford it, the adults came to the Manx too.
Contrary to some posters here, I believe that all 3 events are family attractions... if they are not, then they are doomed as how will youngsters like my grandson find heroes like Guy and develop a love for the sport.
Promote the whole Island in the sporting ads, and the sports in the other areas of advertising.
Use the fact that different dates suit different people, and exploit every opportunity to show the TT/MGP/Southern on TV, whether live or not.
I think it is possible and acceptable to include the MGP and Southern in the yearly DVD, giving a more round idea of Manx motorcycle sport... don't forget the trials too, and a sample of the amazing Knighter's talent... you could follow him and Conor on one of their rambles in the hills!!
I think we need more of the paddock stuff, too, to show that our competitors are lively personalities. It's the riders we come to see, surely.
I think the young guns ads were great, and that approach continued in the DVDs would be excellent
Enough ramblings from me, the house needs hoovering....
