Hunt for Missing Results
Our historical results archive has grown this week thanks to member and mapper Bill Vigar digging out some from 2005 to 2015.
We are currently focussing on results since 2000, but hope to grow the archive back beyond this in time.
If you think you might have some old sets of results, have a look at our archive to see what's missing...
Yvette Baker Final
QO were represented at the Yvette Baker Final at Westonbirt last Sunday.
Because of the success of the Junior Section over the last few years the Club has been designated a ‘Large’ club and competed in the Major Trophy competition.
Seven of our Juniors made the journey to the Cotswolds to compete in the complex network of paths, rides, and public spaces.
QOFL 2021-2
We're hoping that government guidance and landowner permissions are going to come together and allow us to put on a good season.
JOG Autumn 2021
OK, so our plans have gone a bit out of the window because Forestry England has raised its fees and now treats juniors as full adults in their pricing structure. This happening so late in the permissions process has meant that we have had to make some difficult decisions.
We fundamentally believe that JOG events should be run as cheaply as possibly, and have always subsidised them from income from bigger events. We cannot achieve that under the new charging regime so have done our best to restructure the already-planned series to enable it to go ahead.
Some events will have physical controls as usual. Some will have to be conducted using GPS controls as we did during COVID restrictions. And some might have some courses one and some the other.
Street Series 2021-2
The fixtures for the next series, starting in the autumn, are starting to come together.

Thank You to our Volunteers
