TT/MGP fundraiser nets £2,500

Nearly £2,500 was raised at a benefit night in aid of the family of injured TT star Shaun Harris and the Manx Grand Prix Supporters' Club.

The event, at the Sulby Glen Hotel, featured a number of telephone pledges from off-Island bike fans.

In addition, a cheque for £1,000 was presented to John Kermeen of the MGPSC, raised from the TT Website early morning bus tour on June 1.

It was held in memory of Gwen Crellin, a former marshal and long-time fundraiser for the helicopter fund, who was awarded an MBE for services to the TT and Manx Grand Prix.

She passed away in December.
