On 31st March 2020 Pilkington Sailing Club closed after sixty years of sailing at Eccleston Mere. Many members have from 1st April 2020 joined Wigan and St Helens Sailing Club, formerly known as Wigan Sailing Club. The renamed club will continue many of the traditions of both previous clubs.

Wigan and St Helens Sailing Club (or WiSH SC) offers a full sailing programme of racing and leisure sailing as well as a summer-long beginners' course.
