No report and only a few photos. Mirrors raced in a 21 strong "slow" PY division (which included some quite speedy craft all the way up to a Blaze, PY=1030) which Phil & Lucy Smith won on countback from a (Laser) 2000. I have extracted the Mirror results from the full results table, which is why race winners and other placings are missing for some races.
Have you seen any of the above Trophies ? The following list of National Inland Championship Trophies are missing (i.e. they were not awarded in 2017, 2019, 2023, 2024 and efforts to track them down have failed so far).

Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club: Mirror & Firefly Inland Championships 2025
Where to begin?! What a long weekend! 53 boats at a Mirror Nationals, the first time since ages that there were more boats at the Nationals than the annual pilgrimage to the beach at Abersoch Mirror Week, really underlining the class resurgence in recent years.
A list of names reading more and more like a who's who of UK dinghy sailing with more than the odd World/European/National Championship littered amongst them, but this was all about the next generation - either sailing with their parents, siblings or friends, doing their first ever mirror event, or visiting from Australia - and having, without doubt, the most competitive fun you can have in sailing right now.
A reminder that the AGM of the Mirror Class Association will take place on Friday 29th August at 10:00 (i.e. before sailing) at Netley Sailing Club. With the warning signal scheduled at 13:25 Netley SC anticipate they will be releasing boats from the beach between 12:30 and 13:00
