The condition of one of the Island's most famous landmarks is causing such concern that a structural engineer has been called in.

Such is the current state of the Tower of Refuge in Douglas Bay that it is uncertain whether decorative lights can be mounted on it.

Another Landmark...Now this needs preserving !!

Call Bob the builder in he drinks in the Waterloo.

Or our old friend John Hulme...he likes a challenge!

On another thread it has been suggested that we begin sending emails about those things that we love about the Island and the TT and don't want to lose. Maybe the Tower would be a good first project.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Harry

I'll have to see if I can get enough air in the trailer tyres to make it float, I could tow it over behind the boat then
Helen, what do you mean "old" I'm only 42, or is that my waist size :roll:

Teehee...only old in the context of the length of our friendship. When are you coming back to Bonnie Scotland, and this time bring the family!

Glad to see you on board!

Yes , Harry, I agree.
This is another topic for us to show our support.
Pehaps we need an umbrella title?
There is already the TT Supportres club, of course.
How about "Friends of the Isle of man?"
Any other suggestions?

I know! "Come fert(s)"
as in come fer t races!

"FANS OF THE ULTIMATE EVENT"

FOTUE ARN'T WE ?

I like that Ian.
But my idea was based around being friends of The Island, not just the racing?
Anyone else got a coment?

The ultimate event was when the Giant Finn McCoull threw the sod of earth pulled out of Lough Neagh to land quite centrally in the Irish Sea................This produced the Isle of Man did it not...?

Since then the event has continued without a break....

That's my reasoning !!

Great idea, Mike! Ian, let's hear your ideas -
