JOG at Fyne Court
Jim Nickolls planned some excellent courses around the lovely grounds of Fyne Court, which was looking at it's best, with clumps of stunning snowdrops and anemonies in flower. We were lucky with the weather, the sun managing to shine now and then!

Club Night

Coaches Tess Stone and Vikki Page are making excellent use of Longrun Meadow at it's 'Cathedral' on Thursday night (2 March), giving us a thorough workout each time. Orienteering training in the dark for all age groups- who would have thought it possible?
Post from the President
February 2017
With our new website now firmly established and well received by club members, I thought it about time I put pen to paper or rather fingers (all two of them) to keys. So much has happened in the past few weeks.
JOG at Cothelstone Hill
Ahoy- Sea Scouts visit
Thar she blows! Bridport Sea Scouts made a windy Cothelstone Hill their port of call at JOG this Saturday. Some of their crew sailed along at a good rate of knots to show they could mix it with our landlubbers

Coming up
Weekend of Sat 4 & Sun 5 March
Those with a flavour for high quality terrain and competition are spoilt for choice this weekend. A fabulous sand dune area in South Wales hosts back-to-back events. Also on Sunday just off the A303 near Shaftesbury is the Sarum Saunter. And of course there's JOG at Fyne Court.
Club night
Our first gathering at COACH centre
We had our first club night on Thursday 23rd February. Thanks to Roger and Judy for organising and the session leaders for their work and to all for thirty people who came. We had a real mix of young and old and a good gender balance to boot.
Wessex Galoppen review
Penulitimate SW league event of season
Nine QO members managed to make it to the Galoppen on the edge of the New Forest at Holmsley on quite fast heathland. Some of our members have put their routes on RouteGadget. Run of the day was probably Tony Milroy's on Short Green.
Queens College JOG
Junior training Sat 11 Feb
You had to be on the ball while running round the intricate combination of stairways, paths and alleyways between the buildings on the school site! The Fox course also explored parts of Comeytrowe, using questions as evidence of visiting a control. Who knew that street furniture such as lamp posts could be so useful in daylight?
Events & training round up
Weekend 4/5 February
The Forest of Dean again played host to a top quality event and a few QO members on Sunday, this time it was a middle distance race at New Beechenhurst. The previous day at JOG, several seniors in attendance had a go at the map memory exercise with Spencer Modica excelling.
Castle / B&T College JOG
Junior training
The intricate network of buildings and passageways at Bridgwater & Taunton College and the adjoining Castle School kept our juniors focussed on Saturday. This concrete labyrinth provided a stern test for those daring to try Jim Mallinson's fiendish memory map exercise. Even the Hare course provided a significant navigational challenge to our smallest runners.
