Rudyard Lake S.C. held their annual Mirror Open meeting on Sunday, 16th October. This was the last meeting of the 1988 North West Counties Travellers Trophy and Northern Mirrormen enjoyed bright weather conditions and a variable southerly wind.
Race One saw John McKeand (Wigan S.C.) and John Lewis (Winsford S.C.) round the windward mark together, followed by Luke Tumbull (Wigan) and Richard Badman ((Blackpool & Fleetwood Y.C.).
As usual Nantwich proved a popular venue for Northern and Midland sailors, on Sunday 25th September. The flukey westerly wind which varied between force one and four, tested competitors skill and patience.
In Race One Luke Tumbull got off to an excellent start, followed by Roy Platford. This pair pulled away from the fleet and finished in this order. A long tussle for third place ensued between John Lewis and Cole Briscoe, with Lewis finally crossing the line in front.
