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!
Huish Woods weekend

Annabel Carter and Jacob Chattell's reports describe the weekend from a junior perspective and Vikki Page's piece gives a coach's point of view.
Coaching: review
Ashton Court
Karen Lewis took Oliver and Annabelle to Bristol OK's coaching session at Ashton Court on Saturday (4 January) and it sounds like they all got a lot out of the morning.

Wind Down JOG
We managed to squeeze Wind Down JOG in before the arrival of storm Ciara which, at the time of writing, is threatening to cause chaos throughout the UK.
Netherclay JOG
Karen Lewis our planner, made the most of a small area for the 'Fox' training exercise by having map memory for the first half of the course and a compass and pacing exercise with a virtually blank map for the second.
Huish Woods JOG
This JOG was just one aspect of the first Training Weekend QO have organised.
Mark Maynard was the planner and his detailed knowledge of Huish Woods meant that he was able to use the very diverse areas to maximum advantage for each course.
Yvette Baker Trophy (YBT)
National junior competition
If our juniors can emulate their 2019 feat of qualifying for the final, we should have much less trouble getting there this time- it's 90 minutes away for most, at Westonbirt Arboretum. And the qualifier is on QO turf!
To get an idea of what the Trophy is about, read on....
