A long-serving member of the Southern 100 Supporters Club has been awarded an accolade recognising her commitment in the Race Control Hospitality.
Tricia Clague has served 20 years in the service and since 1996, she has quietly worked away raising funds for the Southern 100 Supporters Club, which provides funds for purchasing safety equipment around the Colas Billown Course and assisting riders and their families when the need arises.
Tricia presented her latest donation amounting to £650.00 to Club President Phil Taubman MBE at a social evening held at The Old Market Inn, Douglas recently.
Tricia raises the money in various ways, making hand-made Greetings Cards, keyrings, decorating empty wine bottles along with other ideas that have been thought of over the years.
Mr Taubman thanked Tricia for her generous donation saying: ‘You never fail to surprise us with your donations each year raised with much effort on our behalf and the Supporters Club is extremely grateful to you.’
Southern 100 Club Secretary Rachel Palmer presented Tricia with an engraved crystal vase in recognition of her fundraising over the years, which the club said now totals over £10,000.00.
Thanking everyone at the event, Tricia said: ‘This means so much to me, the Southern 100 meant so much to Gordon and he asked me to keep being involved after he died and I am keeping his wish alive especially when I am at Race Control, which was where he was based with the Start Procedure and the all-important Finishing Flag.'
