OGA  TROPHIES

Apart from local area trophies, the Oga has seven "Association" trophies which are awarded to members, hopefully on an annual basis, but sometimes ad hoc.

Cape Horn Trophy

 

For the past couple of years this has not been awarded.  We would like to award this trophy annually and we are therefore looking to you, the members to put forward nominations, stating your reasons why your nominee deserves the award, so that they can be judged and the trophy once again awarded each year.

 

The criteria for this award are:

     For outstanding seamanship performed by an individual in a single occurrence e.g. a rescue

OR

     A most interesting log.

We need your input so please put forward your nominations, in writing, to Sue Farrer so that these can be passed on to our judges for their final decision.  

May we please receive nominations, together with your reasons, by the 31st October in order to give our judges sufficient time to finalise a nominee.

 

 

Alan Hidden Trophy

 

 

Alan Hidden very kindly left the Association monies in his will and it has been decided that we create a trophy in his memory.

This we have done and the criterion is:

“For the best outstanding performance by a young person (under 25 years of age)” 

We need you to nominate a young person to whom you feel this trophy should be awarded.   Please send your nominations to Sue Farrer together with a brief description, to me before the 31st October.  They will then be passed to the judges for their final decision.

Please get your thinking caps on and contact me should you want any more information.

 

 

 

 

David Cade Memorial Trophy

This trophy has been donated to the Association by Alison Cade (David’s wife) and is awarded annually to a member who has made the most outstanding contribution to the Association during the year.  The recipient of the trophy is decided by members of the General Management Committee (GMC)

 

This trophy is currently held by Dave Keller.

All trophies will be awarded at the Annual General Meeting held at the Cruising Association in London in January.  

Please ensure that all trophies are returned to Sue Farrer at least one month before the AGM.
