The Place

For many years, every summer a lady came and camped near the gate in the SOUTHERN100 paddock. This year she was not there, and noone seems to know either who she is, or why she didn't come this year... anybody know?
I've put it here because I think she was usually at the Pre-TT.

hi helen i think wno you want to know about is anne the little french lady i think someone said she could not afford the fares to come across allthe best izzy

Hi Izzy, I rember Ann, a dear little lady that rode a dark colour step though moped with pedals on! She travelled miles on that machine always fully loaded. I too noticed that she is missing. A shame as she is a lovely person. Spoke to her at most CRMC meetings and once had to tell her she could not stand at the circuit entrance from the paddock by an ex CRMC official. Doing that ruined my weekend so much that I found her and was able to 'sneak' her to a good position to take her photos. She told me she wrote articles for a French publication about racing. I hope someone has seen her recently or can at least confirm she is well?

I've always known her as Norma De~Anne.....

I refered to her as this for years as this until in 2005, i was told her name is Anne and she is from Normandy :lachtot: :lachtot: :lachtot: :lachtot: :lachtot:

Typical of Mum to call her Normandy Anne instead of just Anne

How embarrassed was i

I am really heartened that so many people on different websites recognise this lovely lady. When I started out I was just concerned in case something had happened to her, but now I think perhaps she just didn't have enough money to get across this year.
If that's the case, and someone knows how to contact her, maybe we can find her a lift for next year... and she's welcome to stay with me, if she's finding that wee tent a bit draughty. I'm within easy walking distance of the Southern100 paddock (first criterion when looking for a house!!)
