There was a good turn out from the Club with 32 members attending the 2024 Annual Dinner and Prize Giving on 15th March 2024 at the Limpsfield Chart Golf Club

The Golf Club was very accommodating with a lovely little bar, a beautifully dressed dining room and reasonably priced drinks and three course meal. The evening was a great chance to get together to celebrate the Club and its activities

The Annual Dinner was also the opportunity for the Commodore to present some of the Club’s trophies awarded to individual Club Members, for their participation and successes during 2023. These were as follows:

The Rose Bowl– this trophy was presented to the Club by Bob Perry for any “race” taken place during a Club Rally. The Rose Bowl was awarded to Paul Jeffs, who on his (new to him) yacht, Jus Limin’, won the race during last May’s Spring Rally. Unfortunately, Paul couldn’t make the Annual Dinner, but the Bowl was presented to Paul by Lesley, who won it in 2022.

The Round the Island (RTI) Plaque– this plaque was presented to the Club by Henry Moore for any Club Member with the fastest time in the official Round the Island Race. Once again for the fourth year running, this award went to Lesley Brooman on her yacht Jumunu.

The Nigel Kitchen Memorial Trophy – presented to the Club by Paul May for the best contribution to Oxted Offshore Sailing Club. This year the trophy was awarded to Howard and Nikki Richardson, who despite taking part in many of the races in the past on their power boat, Riptide, cannot win as they are often found bobbing around at the start or finish acting as the Club’s Committee Boat.

The Pugh Trophy – this little cup was awarded by Jasper Dale for “endurance” in heavy weather. This year it was awarded to Sarah Southcott for her perseverance during strong winds and heavy, lumpy seas during last year’s Spring Rally.
