TT3D : Closer To The Edge - Official Trailer [HD] - Video

by Stephen Ritch

A Christmas fair toy stall organised by two families with children at Marown Primary School has raised £108.25 for Junior Achievement Isle of Man.

The Garrett family, Blair, five, Eilidh, eight, Magnus, 10 and mother Wendy joined forces with the Potts family, Ben, seven, Ellena, nine and mother Becky to support the charity, after the two mothers, both former teachers, saw how the ‘real world’ life skills Junior Achievement develops are of value to children of all ages.

Mrs Garrett explained: ‘Every year we collect for a different charity. On this occasion we raised money for Junior Achievement to give something back to them, as they come into the school annually for the benefit of our children.’
Junior Achievement Isle of Man is a Manx-registered charity. In the 2010-2011 academic year it ran 150 classes in 18 schools, reaching more than 4000 young people. Each year the charity needs to raise more than £300,000. For more details contact Sue Cook, suecook@jaiom.im, telephone 666266 or call in to Junior Achievement Isle of Man, Suite 2, Peterson House, Middle River, Douglas.

‘Toy Story’ Raises Funds for Junior Achievement

by Department of Economic Development

THE Isle of Man TT Races received another huge boost from the TT3D film ‘Closer to the Edge’ when CinemaNx Chief Executive Steve Christian was interviewed on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Radio Two this morning. The show has a weekly audience of over 8 million listeners and is the most popular radio show in the UK.

The interview, where Steve featured as the ‘mystery guest’ came about when Chris was inundated with supportive texts the previous day when he mentioned TT3D Closer to the Edge on his show.

Sports presenter Vassos Alexander introduced Steve by saying that he was ‘the driving force’ behind the film and that it ‘put the move into movie’ before Chris began the 3-minute interview with Steve Christian. During the interview Steve was able to give a brief history of the event while Chris encouraged everyone to be inspired by the film’s strapline ‘just because you’re breathing, doesn't mean you’re alive’ – a quotation from its star Guy Martin.

The CinemaNx team also arranged for Chris to receive a copy of the DVD and invited him to visit the Isle of Man for this year’s event.

This is the second high profile boost that the film has provided this month, following the endorsement from respected F1 Williams team owner Sir Frank Williams who described the film as ‘unbelievable’ in his monthly column in leading Motorsport magazine ‘F1 Racing. Sir Frank also went on to add that ‘If you haven’t seen the documentary Closer to the Edge, go and get it on DVD’ and revealed ‘my family got bored of hearing me say how good it is, so I started telling the dog.’

Hon John Shimmin, MHK, Minister, Department of Economic Development commented:

‘This is a great example of the benefits that the Isle of Man and the TT Races continue to receive from the film long after its original release date.  This high profile appearance on the leading breakfast radio show, and the endorsement from someone as respected as Sir Frank Williams, demonstrates the impact that the documentary continues to have.’

THE Isle of Man and Dubai Departments of Economic Development have announced the signing of a  Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at promoting closer business, economic and trade relations between the two countries.
 
Colin Kniveton, Chief Executive of the Department of Economic Development, visited Dubai last week and held a wide range of discussions concerning international relations with his counterpart His Excellency Sami Gamzi, the Director General of the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DDED).  The meeting was also attended by international lawyer, Dr. Mansour Malik and senior officials of the Dubai Government including H.E Mr. Khalid Alkasim, Deputy Director General of the DDED; H.E Mr. Ali Ibrahim Deputy Director General as well as Mr. Fahd Gargawi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Foreign Investment Office.
 
Mr. Kniveton had previously visited Dubai in October 2011 and attended key meetings with the DDED to discuss how levels of co-operation between both countries could be enhanced.  On that visit he had paid tribute to the economic model created by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and stated that the open door economic and investment policies of the UAE provided many incentives to foreign companies wanting to establish themselves in the Middle East.  The significance to the Isle of Man economy of several Isle of Man companies that are already based in Dubai was also highlighted along with the aspirations of other companies that are seeking to obtain licenses to extend their business activities in the region.   
 
John Shimmin MHK, Minister for the Isle of Man Department of Economic Development said:
‘The Memorandum of Understanding involves the exchange of business information and expertise and I am confident that it will further strengthen the economic and business links to the Isle of Man bringing tangible benefits to both our countries.’  
 
Colin Kniveton Chief Executive, Department of Economic Development said:
‘The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding will provide an excellent foundation for Isle of Man companies to build relationships with UAE businesses.  It will further boost the Island’s profile as a good place to live, work and do business and firms helping to attract investment.’
