Despite a very wet Ulster Grand prix in 2007, JDF makes a return to the paddock with their Star tombola prize a ' John McGuinness Manx Gas/Klaffi/Padgetts Honda 600 replica .

Kevin Quirk Chairman JDF said 'Although we endured a very wet Ulster in 2007 , we have decided to make a return as we endeavour to raise funds for our holiday home . We hope to persuade John McGuinness and Clive Padgett to assist with the sale of tombola tickets which will be available from our stall in the paddock next Friday and Saturday.'

Despite no progress been seen on the site that is owned by JDF , the Trustees are discussing an exciting new alternative development with various parties and hope to make an announcement within the next few weeks.

JDF's small committee has raised £500 K since its inception with the majority of the funds being via fund raising events and apart from Arai's support they have never received any significant donations, but appreciate the support of their loyal supporters with a special mention for sidecar aces Klaus Klaffenbock and Nick Crowe.
