The Sulby Glen Hotel is to play host to a unique event
next month, in what will be known as the Dave Saville
Fund Raising Night for the Manx Grand Prix Rescue
Helicopter.
The event is being organised by the legendry Sidecar
pilot who shares the record for the most TT races ever
won by a driver, along with the landlady of the Sulby
Glen; Rosie Sayle.
Irish Road Race Superstar Robert Dunlop is also to
attend along with his sponsor Adrian Fagen.
As most of you will know, Dave Saville was left
quadriplegic from an accident in the 1993 Manx Grand
Prix where he was riding a solo machine in one of the
Classic Races. His story since the accident is one of
unrivalled bravery and determination to get back to
having a normal life with his family. He spent seven
years in the Southport Spinal Injuries Unit after the
accident and still requires a team of qualified
carers.
He desperately misses the Isle of Man, and recently
said 'I want to put something back into the racing and
the Island that has given me so much pleasure'.
This will be his first holiday, with his family, since
the accident, and he is really looking forward to what
should be a great night at the home of the Manx Grand
Prix Supporters Club.
The evening takes place on September the 1st, with a
great night guaranteed including live music, a
Bar-B-Q, an Auction and the chance to mingle with
like-minded people at one of the friendliest venues on
the Island. It is hoped that a host of other
personalities from the racing world will also be in
attendance and we will have more information about
that soon.
It seems fitting that this should be the first
official TT Website Get Together, and Rosie has
promised a warm welcome to all of our regulars. If
there is enough interest, it may be possible to
arrange transport from Douglas and back for the event,
which will start at 8:00pm that night.
This truly unique occasion deserves your support.
We will have more information on the run up to the
night as we get it. If you are interested in the
possibility of travel to and from Douglas, or you
could help with a donation towards the Auction.
If
you require any other information regarding the night
whatsoever, please e-mail Rosie at
sulbyglenhotel@manx.net or myself at
paul@ttwebsite.com and we will happily oblige.
