IT WAS boater Mike Schofield from Lytham St Anne's who has won the competition open to British Waterway Marina Ltd (BWML) moorers of a free year's boating that included his moorings, boat licence, insurance and even a £300 chandlery voucher.
He is making the most of his winnings with a cruise on the Llangollen Canal to visit the Eisteddfod—as seen in the photograph.
Prize worth £4,500
The prize, courtesy of BWML, is worth £4,500, and the winning ticket was drawn from 1,990 entrants by Richard Parry, Chief Executive Officer of Canal & River Trust and Rod Grant, Head of Retail for BWML.
