Gary - as the Forum is being wound down but being left as a record - I just wanted to say Thanks - You inherited a massively difficult job and rather than being pulled every which way by Politicians, Press et al you focused on making the right calls backed up by proper knowledge meteorological and trackside.You have totally impressed me with your fearless ability to make the big call and get it right
