Juniors
Our club's junior section has become a bigger and ever more important part of the club over the years. This section summarises what schemes and resources are available to juniors.
What happens at JOG
A step-by-step guide to attending a JOG, from getting there, preparing, starting, running your course and finishing.
JOG
Junior Orienteering Group
Our Junior Orienteering Group (JOG) runs during term-times holding low-key weekly events aimed at juniors, families and all those looking to improve or to train.
JOG courses
Our weekly JOG activities offer four courses. Unlike formal events, they are not colour-coded, instead being named after animals.
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!
Training exercises
at JOG (Fox course)
The Fox course is a training exercise for seniors and juniors from those who are on the verge of trying Light Green at senior events and upwards. Depending on how much of a challenge you want to give your runners, there are all sorts of imaginative possibilities.
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.
Club clothing
Be seen in your club colours in the new 2020/21 season!
We have club t-shirts, O-tops and possibly still some jackets, in a range of sizes.
Please let us know if there are any other club clothing items you feel we could be producing e.g. hoodies
Spinney JOG/ social
It started with a flurry of snow which gave way to sunshine. Then JOG as usual before heading indoors for a course planning workshop, social and a curry at the end. What a busy day!
