The JCC hosted a topical breakfast at the Claremont, hosted by Simon Crellin of RedPoint PR the TT Press Officer.

The response to the event was fantastic and once again the JCC was inundated with requests for tickets and with over 80 attendees. 

The event provided an opportunity for motor sports enthusiasts and sceptics alike to hear how the TT brand has been turned around since 2005 after Simon Crellin and his team got on board.

The talk provided an insight into managing the brand of the TT and the event itself and how this in turn has led to increased financial revenue generated by the races.  In addition it also highlighted wider benefits that the races bring to the Island such as an increased Global presence that is obtained through the International T.V exposure that the races now receive.  Simon then went on to express some of the thoughts surrounding the future of the Manx Grand Prix, which is of course under discussion in Tynwald at present.

The next event will be a breakfast event entitled ‘An introduction to e-gaming on the Isle of Man’ on the 19th June 2012 at the Claremont, with guest speakers Steve Brennan and Ray Davies.

The Chairman of the JCC was also able to announce on the night that there is to be a Black-Tie event in honour of Help for Heroes with guest speakers from the RAF.  This event will take place on 13th July 2012 at the Palace.

JCC membership is open to IOM resident individuals and corporate organisations.  Further details on these and future events can be found on the JCC website www.jcc.im or by emailing events@jcc.im.
