Members Meeting Tuesday 25th August

At the members meeting held at the Hoggery, Nobles park on Tuesday 25th August the vote was unamiously passed on the proposal to dissolve the charity.

We will now begin the process off winding down and transfer remaining assets to the MGP Supporters Benevolent Fund ( Registered Charity No 394).

The support to the MGP and injured riders will continue with the MGP Supporters Benevolent Fund.

Finally, we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported this wonderful club over the past 51 years.
Your generosity, commitment and support have enabled the club to make donations in excess of £1.3 million during that time.
That is an incredible achievement, and something I think we can all be extremely proud of.

Thank you all.

Charity announced this week it's considering winding down

16/12/2025

Important Announcement please pass on.

The following has been sent out to members by email, where we have an email address on file. Some of these have changed and have been returned as not sent !

Dear Member

At our last meeting and AGM on the 13th November, your committee has discussed that now may be the time to wind up the club and charity.

As you know the MGP Supporters Club reached a significant milestone and celebrated its 50th anniversary this year which is a phenomenal achievement !
The original reason for the creation of the club was to raise funds to support the costs of the MGP rescue helicopters, which the club has done right up to 2021 when the decision was made to stop supporting, as all the costs were now paid for by the Isle of Man Government.

We have carried on since then and continued to help injured MGP riders and their families with financial support as well as donations for essential medical equipment. We have also supported every MGP rider, since 2022, with a payment to help them with their entry fee costs.

Since the main object of the club has changed, your committee now feel that the focus has shifted both with themselves and with some supporters and this is why we now question the future of the charity.

As with many voluntary organisations the majority of the work is done by a few and we are all getting older ! It seems that this issue is also true with many other motorcycle related organisations having the same problems i.e. not enough younger members coming forward to take on some of the responsibilities. The other issue faced is, because we are a charity we have to comply with ever increasing regulations and the days of just volunteering to help out are long gone. As a committee member you now have a legal obligation as a trustee to comply with the regulations and this is obviously not for everyone to take on.

We have agreed to make our decision at our next committee meeting in January and unless we are persuaded otherwise, the likely decision will be to start the process of dissolving the charity.

If this happens, then our constitution states that we will call a meeting of members to vote on the resolution and if passed then our remaining funds can be transferred to 'like minded charities' and the Manx Grand Prix Benevolent Fund where the support for MGP injured riders will continue.

This email has been sent to every member where we have an email address on file.

Could I finish with an apology if this has come as a shock to you and despite whatever decision is made, could I thank you so much for all your support !

Best Regards & Happy Christmas
