What's this?
New arrival at JOG
The Toomers and Macphersons presented QO with a new mascot, made by Sue.
Elven in appearance, he could almost have emerged from the woods. He's already invested in some QO merchandise too- check out the detail on Sue's stitchwork.

Staple Hill JOG
Rain has been falling on a Super Saturated Staplehill for about a week and as you will see from the photos the whole area was shrouded in mist BUT many JOGgers turned up to have a run, well done all of you, it made it worth-while!
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.
Thurlbear JOG
As you can see from the photos, there was plenty of water and mud but Karen had put a lot of thought into the planning and everyone came back satisfied that they had been challenged....especially those on the Fox.
Beginners
Tips for improvement
Tips for all those who have reached the level of Orange (or Badger course at JOG) i.e.
- an adult beginner
- a junior improver
Some of those doing harder courses may often still need to master these techniques though.
Neroche JOG
Strong gusts of wind and rain swept across the SW throughout the night before and the morning of the Castle Neroche JOG.
A glance at the photos will tell you that we got drenched but still had a great time.
Henlade Hill JOG
Ray and Sue Toomer certainly made the most of Henlade Hill small venue though it is, with a variety of interesting courses.
We had another great turn out which was surprising as the weather forecast was not grand.
