Just for the sake of a clear view on this Colin, the officials thankyou dinner, held on Monday night, was very lightly attended this year due to the fact that the vast majority of people who were invited were still at the grandstand putting the hours in after Mondays races to get the results and all the meetings such as the jury meetings out of the way. This all done so they could concentrate on the next races, getting the entries right and numbers allocated and sorting out the final entry lists. Some of them had been there since 8 in the morning and as we all know the dealed start ment for a late finnish.

So Colin you should be happy that your concerned friends were actually there, unlike so many officials who obviously don't deserve anything at all in your view....... and why are you so keen to support the marshalls now? when you obviously didnt want to support them during the Manx by signing on and helping the TTMA out...... or is it just a case of something to moan about ... again .......
