Well, I'm every bit as slack as Tim - been meaning to add to OnMark Bob's post of 21 Feb and which month are we in now... ?
Yes, I too remember Martin Wickens being bitterly disappointed at the decision to disband the RATs, as were all the staff in the International Promotions Department. The official inside reason given to us was that a decision "at the top" had been made to go back into Formula 1 racing in a big way which, of course, is what the company did.
I stayed on for nearly a year after the teams were disbanded, to help set up an in-house publishing company, but the magic had gone for me. Like everyone involved, I had a ball and played hard - but then we all worked bloody hard, too.
Tim, I think we might have met once, although we never worked together. Neither Bankstown nor Richmond are so far from Glebe, so if the reunion is in Europe, we might have to have our own antipodean mini-version!
Cheers all,
Sue
