Girton SC hosted it's first ever Streaker Open meeting on Saturday 16 June with an oppressive forecast. In the event the force 1-3 winds mainly from the South held up all day and apart from a few spots of rain the promised deluge failed to materialise, although lightning, thunderstorms and heavy rain were seen all round the horizon at various times. The 12 Streakers that took part all had an interesting sail, with abundant windshifts to keep them alert.
 
A last minute 90 degree windshift forced a drastic relocation of the start line for Race 1, but the fleet got away smoothly after only a short delay. Nick Lovell (OASC) led the first lap closely pursued by Ian Bradley (OASC) before Bradley squeezed past him into a lead which he held to the finishing line.
 
In Race 2. Nick Lovell and Dave Smith (Welton SC) led from Ian Bradley and Stuart Hood (Hornsea SC) up a long first beat before being taken away by an insidious header that left Bradley and Hood clear ahead. In the chase that followed Bradley kept clear with Lovell working his way through to second. Graham Nelson finally said enough is enough for the venerable 155, as he struggled to keep the water level below the false floor!
 
Race 3 saw Nick Lovell establish a commanding lead only to see it removed by fickle shifts on a single short beat in the second lap. Ian Bradley managed to catch and pass him to score his third bullet of the day although Lovell kept the pressure on all the way to the finishing line. Most of the rest of the fleet held the same positions in all 3 races with David Smith and Stuart Hood in 3rd and 4th places respectively.

Results overall: 1.Ian Bradley (Ouse ASC), 2 Nick Lovell (Ouse ASC), 3 David Smith (Welton SC), 4 Stuart Hood (Hornsea SC), 5 Pete Tyerman (Pennine SC), 6 Andrew Francis (Girton SC), 7 Roger Wallis (South Yorks SC), 8 Brian Rennie (Girton SC), 9 Lianne Therkelson Welton SC), 10 Dorothy Gennard (Girton SC), 11 Graham Nelson, 13 Julia Edwards (Girton SC).
