League Tables
The QO offering to the Southern England GPS Orienteering 2021 League was well attended. A good mixture of different types of urban areas, including residential streets, central shopping, and parkland, gave interest to the courses.
Hopefully more clubs will take up the banner and put events into the league. It looks like there'll be one in Devon at least.
If you want to get in some practice, maps from last year's event and this one can be downloaded from British Orienteering. The MapRun courses are still open, so you can compare your times to those who did it in the actual event.
Yvette Baker Final
QO were represented at the Yvette Baker Final at Westonbirt last Sunday.
Because of the success of the Junior Section over the last few years the Club has been designated a ‘Large’ club and competed in the Major Trophy competition.
Seven of our Juniors made the journey to the Cotswolds to compete in the complex network of paths, rides, and public spaces.
QOFL 2021-2
We're hoping that government guidance and landowner permissions are going to come together and allow us to put on a good season.
JOG Autumn 2021
We're prepping for our next Junior Orienteering Group season. This one will be taking the best from the old and from the lockdown version - a choice between coming along between 1400 and 1530 when we'll have people around to explain things and real controls or in your own time over the rest of the weekend using GPS punching.
Street Series 2021-2
The fixtures for the next series, starting in the autumn, are starting to come together.
Volunteer Profiles
As it is national Volunteers Week, we are shining a light on what our volunteers do and why. We hope to update this page every day with a little profile of someone who gives up their time to help.
We need more people to share about their volunteering. Please drop a few lines to chair@ ...
Thank You to our Volunteers
At the start of National Volunteers Week, we would like to say thank you to everyone who helps put on orienteering events.
South West Relay Series
The South West Relays are starting on 20 June with the Wessex Team Score. Our club captain will be in touch shortly to arrange teams, but have a look and see if you can fit things into your diaries.
Skills matrix
This skills index is aimed at all from those attempting Orange courses to those who would be considered experts.
Most of the articles were written by QO's Richard Sansbury but we have borrowed from other resources on You Tube and other clubs' websites.
