Events & training round-up
A divine right to win?
After training well at our JOG at Culm Davy, a happy hunting ground for him previously, Devon's Patrick Devine-Wright went on to record the fastest time at the Devon League event the next day. A round up of the action from the weekend of January 28/29th
Culm Davy JOG
Juniors training
Taking advantage of a lovely sunlit wood the day before Sunday's downpour! Training alongside our juniors were some very good senior orienteers, attracted to this most runnable and pretty part of the Blackdowns
Tim Wood
Funeral & wake
A QO newsletter he edited and a photograph of a winning QO relay team were amongst the memorabilia displayed at Tim Wood's wake on Tuesday (24th January). Tim's athleticism and his orienteering days were also referenced at the preceding funeral, at St Cuthberts Church, Wells, which Mike Crockett attended.
CulmStock Festival of Orienteering
(Well sort of!)
Enjoy a weekend of orienteering in the hinterland of the beautiful Culm Valley. After our day and evening outings at Culm Davy, head 20 miles downstream alongside the Culm Valley on Sunday morning and you'll find a Devon league event at Ashclyst Forest.
Danby Lodge event
SW league (7 of 9), Forest of Dean
The North Gloucester club NGOC's Gallopen was held on Sunday was at Danby Lodge in the Forest of Dean and several club members attended. The icy ground minimised the impact of the mud and the wild hogs, which are churning up parts of the forest. Tom Hasler reports.
Netherclay JOG
Football's loss is our gain
Footy matches were getting postponed locally due to frozen pitches and our numbers were bolstered by some of those younger footballers! No such problems with our "playing field", just nice crisp conditions for a Saturday afternoon run. Not that you'd think it was icy judging by those collecting their JOG awards in short sleeves.
Forest League after 4 events
All tables now updated
The latest Handicap table is now up to add to the Elite tables. They bring in the New Year's Day QOFL scores from Kingscliff. There is still everything to play for in most of the leagues. See how you and your friends and rivals are doing...
Events round-up
14 & 15 January 2017
Tom Hasler has produced a roundup of the events this week, featuring the junior and night event double-header at Staple Hill and the Galoppen in the Forest of Dean. It's part of the OINFO email / Yahoo Group circular which Gavin Clegg used to edit before he left us recently.
New club evenings
Coming soon
Two of our coaches attended the national coaching conference at the weekend. The timing could not have been better with the club launching new Club Evenings in Taunton next month. One of the things Vikki and Tess learned was "how to use a small space for effective and fun sessions"!
2017 Long O weekend
Gearing up for next season's curtain raiser
Despite attracting entrants from faraway Finland and France in 2016, frustratingly we could only muster a dozen from QO. Not to mention the helpers remaining largely the same year on year. Co-organiser Rosie Wych issues a plea for a greater club presence at this year's autumn showpiece...
New JOG fixture list is out
Spring 2017 term begins 14 Jan
Dates for your diary...a series of 11 events stretching between next Saturday and the end of March has just been finalised, with the usual full range of venues, from college campuses up to "proper" forests and open hilltop
JOG report- Autumn term 2016
Part 2
Judy Craddock reviews the second half of the JOG term just ended. She recounts surreal scenes at the Huish Wood scout camp which played host to a variety of groups one Saturday lunchtime, with JOGgers dodging scouts in pink tutus and posh diners...
