Description: Chris Plummer played a nasty trick on everyone here, by hiding less than 2 miles from the club with the power of the transmitter turned right down, so naturally everyone thought with the signal being faint he was miles away, and went galavanting up around Bury for the second transmission. A most famous vistory for John Heath here, driven by his daughter (a learner driver) in a clapped out Lada! (They didn't get far away for the second transmission, so didn't have to come back as far!). Chris was hidden on the edge of Sale Water Park, on the north bank of the River Mersey, below and inbetween the Canal and Rail bridges. This caused considerable confusion on site, as he was well hidden - was he on the Mersey bank, the canal bank, or the railway? Some young hoodlums didn't make things easier for John Jocys and Chris Heys by lobbing fireworks at them. (John soon saw them off though. Confronting one of them on the bank of the Mersey, John asked him if he could swim!)
