New Forest event
SW League
Oliver Lewis was QO's star of the day at Blackwater where he beat 14 others to win the Orange course. Al Hemmings won the White. On an unexpectedly lovely bright, dry day, about 15 QO enjoyed this runnable mixture of wood and heathland.

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!

Captain's call
Because of our new and rather unrealistic status as a "big" club, our captain Chris Hasler has an extra challenge this year making up a full team to take part in the heat near Gloucester on Sunday 15 March. Please email Chris ASAP if you'd like to take part.
