Chief Minister says Festival of Motorcycling saved event
As the Festival of Motorcycling gets under way, the Chief Minister says hard work over the last three years has saved the Manx Grand Prix from extinction.
Allan Bell says making the MGP part of the festival alongside new and relaunched events has given it a new lease of life.
And he says the evidence suggests it's going from strength to strength:
Former Red Arrows pilot recalls engine cut-out
Andy Wyatt was taking part in a display for the TT
Auditor General criticises lack of progress
Current frameworks lacking requirements of international standards
TT footbridge removal to close busy junction
St Ninnian's crossing to be taken down this weekend
Ed Space to create two full-time positions with £50,000 grant
The charity is supported by 70 volunteers and has 150 attendances at weekly sessions each month
