Training at Quants
Buckland Wood's hidden wonders
We were lucky enough to have training three weeks' running at Quants, the delightful eastern part of Buckland Wood. The woods there conceal a variety of bizarre, almost randomly placed structures. Never have our "map walks" and bearings exercises been so interesting, wondering what we'll encounter next
Ashton Court relays
Juniors rise to the challenge
Thanks to our members investing in our green and yellow club shirts, the rolling wooded lawns of the stately home had a highly visible Quantock presence on Sunday, during Bristol OK's annual relay.
Presentations & AGM
& an uplifting talk
Many of those competing at the club championships joined us afterwards at the COACH building for a buffet, a video presentation and an awards ceremony. While the AGM was taking place, some of the children were given the opportunity to fly kite surfer Ray Toomer's kites on Longrun Meadow.
Ashton Court relays
Sunday 25 June
Sunday will see another mass exodus from Somerset...a staggering 30 members have signed up for a team at Sunday's relays, the day after the Club Champs. And to think we were struggling to get two teams together a week or so ago. You sure you can all handle two days on the trot?
Poole Town race
SEOUL, 18 June
Great results for Sam & Andrew, winning their classes and Jacob a confident 4th! Every second counts, as Andrew won by just one second. The junior course action took place in a glorious park.
Club championships & AGM
Late entries: contact Roger & Judy
If you'd still like to enter, please contact Roger and Judy Craddock at jandr.craddock@ googlemail.com ASAP. To all who have entered, see you on Saturday at the COACH Centre, Taunton- it's adjacent to the competition area and a great setting for the buffet meal & social, a talk and the club's AGM
BOK Blast urban races
10/11 June
Bristol harbourside and city centre provided a fabulous setting for a weekend of urban races. Entrants came from throughout England and Wales and even from Scandanavia and Italy. Several members made the trip and Andrew Page won his class on both days.
Events round-up
3/4 June & coming soon
A dozen or so QO members and JOG-goers were at a sodden Woodbury Common in Devon on Sunday. Several of those going are also going to the Scottish 6 Days- maybe they were trying to keep in practice and get used to the rain!
Galoppen 2016/17
Final standings
The 2017/18 league tables have now been prepared by QO member and Galoppen scorer Spencer Modica. The veterans Bill Vigar and Tony Hext again showed up strongly.
Springtime in Shropshire
Late May bank holiday
2017's festival will be remembered for a striking variety of terrain, with Day 1 on the dramatic open hill top of Long Mynd, Day 2 in scrappy woodland and a wonderful finale for Day 3 in sumptuous wooded parkland. Eight members made the journey.
JK 2021
In the South West
Hot off the press is the news that the JK for 2021 is confirmed as being destined for the south west. SWOA are asking for potential officials even at this stage in a whole variety of roles. If interested contact SWOA chairperson Christine Vince (christine.vince2@btinternet.com) by 10 June.
