The reason for that was that they were aware that they could not pack everybody onto one day's ships to get them home. Sponsoring another day's events spread out the demand for spaces on the boat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I heard a story from a reliable source, that the marquee currently being used to house the horse tram etc, at the Summerland Site is to be moved up to the TT Grandstand and used as the venue for the TT Auction. I wonder how much taxpayers £s this will cost? Is it a good use of taxpayers resources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
