The winter edition, of the twice yearly produced, TT Supporters Club Magazine will be ready for distribution within the next few days. The magazine contains TT current affairs, rider experiences and profiles, nostalgia and some excellent photography from Island Photographics, Don Morley and Nick Nichols.

The highlight of the magazine is a very frank question and answering piece, conducted by Graham Bean and answered by Department of Tourism and TT
Organiser, Mike Ball.

The international flavour of the TT is covered with articles on Austrian August Auinger, American Dwight Mitchell, Frenchman Laurent Naire and Slovenian Mirko Kalsek. Dwight Mitchell details the return of the MV Agusta to the Mountain Course and the problems he and the team encountered with setting up the machine and obtaining much needed spares. August Auinger, a world championship contender of the 1980's and a winner of five GP's, had his first ride on pure roads at the pre-TT Classic meeting on the Billown Circuit.

The sidecars are covered with an article of how Dave Molyneaux fared at Scarborough. Adrian Earnshaw explains how he was instrumental in attracting Rolf Biland to come to the TT in the late 1970's. Gary Partridge tells of his
'Love Affair' with the TT after an eventful debut.

Irish Road Racing's rising star Martin Finnegan is profiled by Paul Phillips and Mark Castle recounts the highs and lows of his debut on the Mountain Course in the Manx Grand Prix. Derek Clague continues his 'Journey through Time' with a look back at 1967, 1968 and 1969. There have been many changes to machines and the classes they run in, Ian Huntley looks at the developments from 1907 to the present day.

The magazine is enhanced by some excellent photographs from internationally
renowned photographers Don Morley and Nick Nicholls, Island Photographics add a splash of colour.

The magazine is free to all members of the TTSC, details of how to join can be found on the clubs website: wwwttsupportersclub.com
