I have no idea who Jane Corlett is , other than she is in control ( with one other person) of the new TTMA and has been gifted/ stolen(?) all the assets of the old IOM TTMA (otherwise how would she know how many marshals "had trickled in" , the new company was established 17/12/21 ?). "Members" of the old IOM TTMA have not been consulted about the transfer of assets and are still awaiting notification of the date of the adjourned EGM. ....... a forlorn hope perhaps it would seem as the 'powers that be' seem to make it up as they go along . The 25% of 'island marshals' may well attend a far greater number of practice/race sessions than those from across and beyond . As far as I'm aware no correspondence has been entered into with marshals to establish their willingness to marshal this year (some of whom sign on by "snail mail " rather than on line). In fairness the CoC advised a marshal on 2/3/22 that there were more than adequate numbers of marshals ,he may be right? Just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training happens in the UK and here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I’m not worried that the TT won’t go ahead. I’m sure it will. I’m more concerned that it will go ahead regardless of whether it’s safe to do so in terms of marshals, health services, roads, etc. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No objection to them doing what they like on closed roads. Big objection to them cluttering up Nobles in the aftermath. Surgery/procedures should not be put on hold for 4 weeks of the year during TT/MGP... let DfE sort out the required medical facilities for bikers.

Tim Crookall is a leading figure in the use of such vague language. Still I suppose it's better than that shithouse Tim Baker and his condescending answers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and no going to the beer tent (or anywhere else for that matter) Mr Allinson is one of those politicians for whom soothing politic-speak, with little actual meaning comes easily. Like many others before him, his predecessor in DfE being a good example, he can be counted on to say something that adds up to nothing very much. I suspect in his former occupation as GP he was quite good at telling patients that they were doing very well, whilst they were lying on their death beds. He should do well in Tynwald, unless Alf Cannan actually meant what he said about delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
