Loss of races impacts busiest period for licensed trade
Some of the Island's pubs are 'really desperate' for support following the loss of TT trade.
It's the second year in a row licensed premises have missed out on what's usually their busiest week of the year.
Business owners within the hospitality sector are calling for increased financial support from government.
Chairman of the Licensed Victuallers Association Geoff Joughin, who also owns the Albert in Douglas, says it's hard for pubs to make up for lost trade:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
