The end of another years successful racing has come to an end, the presentation took place on January 30th at the Hilton Hotel. The magnificent trophy's provided by Manx Metals went down a storm with the winners and members, the meal was good, even though the Hilton staff did manage to whip away the puds before some had finished their main course!! Mr Hampson provided the musical entertainment, and the Hilton provided the TV background commentary for the presentation, quite amusing for those who attended. The slide show was presented by the two Sarah's of the club, and produced by Wayne Freestone. Below is a photo of all the winners who attended the evening, to make it a great ending to the 2009 Championship. Many thanks to all of you who attended the evening.
