TT FANS will have a chance to meet the fastest Manxman around the TT course, Conor Cummins, when he makes an appearance at a shop in Douglas at the weekend.
Conor, who was awarded the accolade of Ambassador of the Year in this year’s Isle of Man Bank sports awards, will sign autographs and have his picture taken with fans.
In addition to this, the first 50 visitors through the door of Manx Telecom’s Strand Street shop will receive a signed poster and a free side-stand support.
Visitors to the shop will have a chance to enter a competition to win a lap of the TT Mountain Course in a car supplied specially by car dealer Buchanan. Conor will take the prize winner on a full lap and give them an insight into the experience of racing in the TT races.
Voirrey Barron, Manx Telecom marketing communications manager, said: ‘We’re really looking forward to Conor’s visit to our shop and to giving our customers the chance to win some fantastic prizes. This is a great opportunity for fans to meet one of the most popular and charismatic TT riders.’
As well as sponsoring Conor, Manx Telecom is also sponsoring the Bushy’s beer tent stage during the TT. As Conor is a keen mountain biker, his personal sponsorship deal also includes him wearing a Manx Telecom jersey when he competes in mountain biking events.
Conor will be at the shop on Saturday May 12 from 10am to midday. For competition details go to www.manxtelecom.com/ttlap Entries close on May 10.
