JOG at Wellington School
Back to school
The last Saturday of half term found JOG at Wellington School after a gap of about six years!
Several of our younger members took advantage of the relatively contained site to venture off on their own, well done to them.
Longrun JOG/CATI
The Come and Try It at Longrun Meadow was a great success with many QO members coming to help newcomers and set them on their way. Have a look at the photos on the Dropbox Link below: they speak for themselves!
New video
for beginners
Liked what you saw at Saturday's "Come and Try It" event at Longrun?
UK squad member Graham Gristwood presents this clear, straightforward, fast-paced video describing the basics for those curious about or keen to see more of the sport.
Come and try it!
At Longrun Meadow
Would you like to try the sport for the first time or perhaps once more? Or do you know someone who might? If so, you will be made very welcome at our event on Saturday (19th), based at French Weir Park, Taunton, adjacent to Longrun Meadow.

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 - Review
Autumn 2018
Running until early December, our Autumn season had one event every weekend. Terrain varied from open hill top and woods to parkland or college campus and we visited two new venues.
Compass Sport Trophy
Final, West Midlands
Backed by our brilliant support team, 18 members ran for the club at the national final of this inter-club tournament on Sunday. Up against some very stiff competition, we still managed to beat a couple of clubs.
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.
Maps for juniors
Clarity praised
An experienced member of another club who's been a regular at our Forest League events over many years has praised the club for providing clear, large scale maps for juniors. Surprisingly, it appears 'going large' isn't always the norm elsewhere.
