The provisional fixture list for next season is listed below, with ourselves and near neighbours Devon OC again sharing an event each. All members, please check which QOFLs you are down to help at and let the event organiser or volunteer co-ordinator know if you need to change dates.
All orienteering suspended
British Orienteering ruling
The national governing body BOF have announced that all orienteering activity must cease with immediate effect. This effectively means our 2019/20 season has ended and the earliest potential fixtures we could have would be in late summer/ early autumn.

JOG review
Spring season
Due to the Coronavirus restrictions, the JOG season has now ended. The brand new venue for orienteering Combe Wood we had lined up for the final Saturday will now hopefully get an outing at a future date!

Roughmoor JOG
This is a flood plain and it lived up to its name with water over the ankles to the first control on some courses, however, as orienteers know, once your feet are wet nothing afterwards is a problem.
