Just a short note to congratulate yourself and the entire PCRA team for a wonderful event over the weekend. I have heard nothing but good things about the Barry Sheene meeting and it is a credit to the hard work and persistence of a dedicated and passionate group of individuals. Once again, I congratulate you all on a wonderful meeting and look forward to 2012.
