There is actually no prescribed way to turn at release
of tow in the UK.
You can turn either way, and I regularly do.

Clearly I've been misinformed. I have learned this technique from my local
club and have relatively little experience of other clubs/locations. I shall
definately make enquiries at my local club, I'm sure there must be a good
reason for it.

best wishes
