The Auto-Cycle Union Benevolent Fund is hoping to raise much-needed funds through the sale of its new 2013 TT badge. This year's badge, bearing the Manx "three-legged" symbol, costs £3. Proceeds from sales go straight to the fund which, since 1951, has helped members and their families in times of extreme difficulty. "Everybody who buys one of the yearly badges is helping in a small way to contribute, as without these sources of income we would find it very difficult to maintain our present levels of assistance," said an ACU spokesman. The Fund was formed with a budget of just £80 and now depends on donations, subscriptions, bequests, subscriptions - and sales of the TT badge. Badges are available from the ACU, Wood Street, Rugby CV21 2YX.
