Netherclay JOG 31st January 2026
Postponed
Reluctantly we have decided to postpone the Netherclay JOG due to take place on Saturday 31st January. There has been extensive flooding and, although some of the water has receded, the forecast indicates that the water levels will rise again with the prospects of parts of the course being under water.
We will contact you as soon as we have a new date for this event. Thank you for your continued support and patience.
