Re Isle of Man weekend, 19th and 20th June
for info, if any of you or your club members are interested in the summer performance car weekend,i've spoken to Magic Holidays today, and confirmed they have all the details etc if people now wish to book the IOM Drag car weekend package. if you ring and enquire, just state you are after the package deal for the "Jurby drag Car weekend " in june. Magic are on 01624 645777, they'll send you a fact sheet with hotel details in douglas and the package prices to include the ferry and accomodation, or you can book
straight away with them.sailings are twice daily, but 14.15 on fri 18th june seems good for the majority of people, you can go a day earlier, and stop a day longer, its upto you. we are probably all staying on the douglas sea front, they have a variety of hotels of different star ratings in the deal, according to price range that people want. as mentioned previously, for 3 or 4 nights B+B in a decent hotel on the Douglas sea front, including ferry crossing, its starting at about £165 all in per person! not bad at all.

anyone with a low car or one with a splitter/bodykit that may catch boarding a ferry is advised to ask for the Heysham crossing, rather than the
liverpool one, as its easier and safer to load low cars on that apparently. its up to you now folks, get booking or ring them for the info which they will post out to you.

The itinery at the minute should be as follows:

Friday- arrive on I.O.M, social meet at night on douglas front for all the cars. Obviously no drink driving on the island, but a good booze up no doubt
that night! The majority of people will probably be stopping in the sea front hotels in Douglas anyway ,as the package deal hotels are listed there.

Saturday- drive around the IOM, and the TT course. Meet at lunchtime at the cafe/railway stop up Snaefell, then drive to Port Errin for a tea-time BBQ
thats being organised. Anyone who prefers a drag race day will be able to head for Jurby airfield on the Saturday as well if they wish. (additional charge to race)

Sunday- Jurby airfield, head to head 1/4m and top speed racing, small additional charge to compete. Classes and trophies for fastest cars etc.
Sunday night,trophy presentation in Douglas, trophies provided by IOM tourist board.

Monday- Sightseeing day, open to whatever people wish to do, return home on ferry (or stop a day longer if you wish)

the activities are all being organised bystraightliners.com in assiosciation with the IOM tourist board as its their joint event, nothing
to do with myself or 200+, but we will be going totake part.

Hopefully you can put this info out to your members and make it into a great annual social event!
cheers chris
