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