Mike co-skippered Enchantress to 1st place on OMR and 1st place on PHS in the 2005 race. In 2007 and 2008 Mike co-skippered Renaissance to first place on OMR and followed this up with a PHS win for Renaissance in 2011.

Mike's funeral will be held on Friday 12 June 12:30pm at Albany Creek Memorial Garden, 400 Albany Creek Road, Bridgeman Downs followed by a wake at the Captains Room, The Pavilions at Allan Border Field, 1 Greg Chappell St, Albion.

Please go to the MYCQ website OMR page for the new ratings, as well as supporting documentation describing the changes that have been made to the rules and specifications.
