2025 Midland District Events

Midlands District, IOMMDCS, Events

We got the early season off to a good start at Manor Park RSC with the first round of the Midland district DF95 series on 26^th January, and this was followed by the IOMMDWCS event at Lincoln RSC last weekend. Reports of both are already on the MYA website.

As the Lincoln RSC IOM event was the only one, we could fit in during the winter, the top Midland district skipper for the winter 2024-2025 was Darin Ballington of the Lincoln RSC, and he wins the “Harry Briggs Trophy”. I am sure that Simon Richardson will be happy to present it to him next time he is at Manor Park RSC.

The first round of the Midland district IOMMDCS & C series takes place at Bournville RS&MBC on 2^nd March and the NOR has already been published. Details in the MYA calendar, and I am sure Bournville will be happy to welcome you all to come and try their venue.

The other rounds that are scheduled for the IOM summer series are:

19^th to 21^st April at Lincoln RSC, this runs concurrent with the MYA National, and the Midland district clubs skipper’s results will be used as the results for round 2 of the series.

7^th September at Bournville RS&MBC, this is also the “Mac Colyer” district trophy.

5^th October at Lincoln RSC, tis is the “Clive Hand” trophy.

That gives the district four IOM series events through the summer.

So, with three series going on in the district there is plenty to choose from, and if any other Midland district club would like to host an Open event and could use a little pre-event support with paperwork/NOR/entry publicity, please contact either Simon Richardson or the MD webmaster. Contacts details are in the Midland District pages on the MYA website.
