VMCC are looking to do something over the August bank holiday and the DfE Motorsport team have offered to help in any way possible It's true that the VMCC were looking at 'doing something ' at either MGP or Southern 100 . ETA. Vintage Mann News (the local branch VMCC mag) reports :- "Members of your committee met up with members of the Department for Enterprise just prior to Christmas to discuss a raft of issues and ideas we thought might be of interest. Yet again we came away feeling very frustrated and frankly disappointed with the governments response". " We were looking at developing a new event to coincide with the Southern 100 ..... Rob insisted July was far too busy and we should focus our attention to developing new events in the autumn and winter months " " I could go on but what's the point" Sorry Rob but after the Scoreboard / public consultation fiasco I'm inclined to believe the people who successfully ran 'Jurby Day' (until the powers that be decided to spear it ) . just saying.

The public consultation around the TT scoreboard was fine and we have definitely listened to all the views submitted…. The main issue at the moment is trying to get treasury to support our funding application, which has been very difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 What a refreshing change that treasury are making it harder for Departments to squander money. If they just adopted the same policy with DOI we would have plenty of money . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it that expensive that even sponsors can't afford it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
