Broom Owners Club AGM Weekend 2024, sponsored by Tingdene
The Broom Owners Club AGM 2024 was in Birmingham! 
Date: November 1st – 3rd, 2024
Location: Birmingham, UK
We had a wonderful weekend of camaraderie, exploration, and celebration! The Broom Owners Club AGM 2024 was an unforgettable event, bringing together Broom owners from all corners. Seasoned sailors and new members alike.
We are grateful to Alan Foden and St James’s Place for supporting our 2024 AGM.
There were two core events, the business part of the AGM, with the awarding of the prestigious Martin Broom Memorial Trophy, and the voting in of a new committee. Following on from that was the Gala Dinner Dance, where everyone enjoyed a meal with like minded Broom owners, shared stories and made new friends. After our scrumptious meal, some sat back and relaxed with some music, while others let loose on the dance floor.
