I make this statement from what a senior ACU official said to me in 2003 when they took over the organisation of it from the TT RIDERS ASSOCIATION who were the last ethusiastic organisers of the event

Arthur, you are dead right.

Allan Robinson himself told me this in 2003 - plus, of course, the TTRA "somehow" found it necessary to replace him as Hon Sec.

Hmmm.

The final insult was, of course, in 2007 when the powers that be refused him a ride in the Centenary Parade Lap.
