Woodbury Common
Devon League
About 20 QO members ran at Devon's lastest league event on physically tough heathland towards the south coast near Exmouth. Ollie Rant was top QO overall, Rosie Wych won Light Green and Ollie Lewis and Al Hemmings were runners up on their courses.
Brighton City Race
QO again had representation at this annual race on the far south coast, which coincides with a spectacular festive display known as the 'Burning of the clocks'. But were there any scorching times recorded?
Martin Lewis reports.

Kingswood & Soudley
Wye O Wye? Another Dean double
Obviously feeling surprisingly fresh after last weekend's triplet of events, several QO went back to the Wye Valley / Forest of Dean area for some more. Steve R reports from Kingswood and Jeff from Soudley.
Southern Championships
& Night championships
Often held as part of the multi-event weekend. Besides the classic (long distance) race, the Southern Night Championships may be held on the same weekend. In 2019, there was also a middle race. Sometimes the long race doubles up as the November Classic.
Southern Champs Weekend
Forest of Dean
Pete Shirvington had the run of his life on the Middle event, finishing a very close 2nd to Pete Ward, who was M45 Southern Champ in 2016.
