Like everyone , I was really disappointed to learn that the Senior was cancelled and I am sure that the MMCC Committee will be looking at various options for the future.

Some readers may not be aware that as well as JDF , I am a Trustee of the Mike Hailwood Foundation and this Charitie's objective is to bring new riders to the IOM especially the MGP.

Due to work and other commitments , I am reliant relaint upon other people to recruit on our behalf and Paul Phillips does an excellent job with the TT and for MGP , Norman Gordon , Davy Morgan and Mark Castle assist MHF with recruitment ..

Looking back at the riders we have brought to the MGP , many have gone on to be star performers at the TT and yet again a MHF Virgin won a newcomers MGP.

If any readers knows of any young riders (max age for assistance is 30) who would be interested in MGP 2008 then please contact myself , Norman , Davy or Mark
