How about a Manx-based organising committee, backed by the Governemnt, to pay for the necessary permanent employees, with a Board of Directors formed from committee members of the S100, MMCC and Andreas Clubs, with the winners of the main solo TT, S100, and the corresponding sidecar men as consultatnts (if they were not keen themselves, I am sure the competitors could elect reps...Geoff Bell? Moly? Ian L, Steve Hislop? Current or retired riders would have a useful input, and would listen to other riders too. How about asking the likes of Ian Huntly, Bill Snelling etc, who have been fans for so long for some of their thoughts on what people might want.
Definitely need lots more accomodation at reasonable prices, (and NOT with guests sleeping in the bath, or rotting mattresses out the back, as one place I stayed a few years ago had!)
I've never found the need for other entaertainment, cos I never have enough time to see everyone, but families would like appropriate events....not clapped out rock bands or that dreadful street theatre thing!!
Enough from me...more from the rest of you, and we can send all these to D Cannell or whoever, even if it is a couple of days late.
