2024 TMOCC Club Awards
We would like to also acknowledge our wonderful TMOCC Social Committee Members whose outstanding organisational efforts resulted in a great day for all. Special thanks to Karen Thomas, Elly Winslow, Diana Bomford, Tina Hiamoe, Jane Townsend, Jayne Conning (Games Mistress), Rob Keenan (who provided the BBQ trailer) and the many others who assisted with initial set up and the final cleanup. What a wonderful end of year celebration!
TMOCC REVISION OF AWARDS 2024
After an in depth review and to reflect the huge growth in membership numbers, along with the associated change in demographics of our membership, the TMOCC Committee have rearranged existing competitive Divisional category awards. The previous Top Senor Paddler Male & Female awards are being superseded (re-purposed to Top Master Paddler Male & Female), and a further four Divisional category Awards added.
