Awards Dinner 2007

The RPSA end-of-season awards dinner was held on October 27th, and well attended by 50 or so people.

As has become the custom, members brought sufficient starters to have the tables groaning under their weight.  To meet the budget, beer and wine was provided, but contributions of harder stuff made for a great start to the evening.

After everyone had eaten, Commodore Mike Smith presented this year's awards, which were:

Peggy Moseley Memorial Trophy

This is a new trophy, established in memory of Peggy, who was a keen sailor, and did a lot to foster sailing at Roton Point.  We thought long and hard about what this trophy should commemorate, and decided it should be an RPSA trophy for adults,rather than a sailing school trophy for kids.  So it is the Peggy Moseley Memorial Trophy, awarded annually to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the furtherance of sailing at Roton Point.  Its first recipient, Bud McGarry, has put a lot of time and effort into watching over the sailing school, and even gave summer-long accommodation to our head instructor.  Congratulations, Bud.
