Through the beer goggles of Tony Perkin
The Manor once again hosted our annual awards to a full house of eighty five impeccably dressed racers, sponsors and supporters of Lansdowne – ‘the’ purest classic race series. Here to collect trophies, enjoy excellent food, have a lot of laughs, win a few prizes and have a bit of bidding fun in the auction.
Guests of honour were Steve and Victoria Plater, also our long term friends and sponsors Steve and Tif from Avon Tyres. As host I did my upmost to slate racers and bring them down a peg or two, needed as we are all sooooo fast when fuelled by the odd snifter! I then handed the mike over to Steve Plater for a great low key chat about his incredible career.
Amazingly we raised £1400 from the raffle and auction with all proceeds going to the TT Riders Association and charities. Enormous thanks to all riders / partners / helpers / supporters throughout this weird year as Lansdowne continues to thrive.
Next year’s calendar looks incredible and new blood will be on the grid upsetting the order, vying for results so they can get slated be me at next years dinner! Congratulations to all the trophy winners and everyone involved in the Lansdowne series, Merry Christmas and a ‘fast’ new year.
