League analysis (March 2020)
Whether the current league tables are final is not clear at present. Nethertheless, after seven events, there were a few QO members in good positions. Pete Shirvington lies 4th on Brown and the usual high fliers like Clive Hallett and Pete Ward have registered fewer runs this season. Bill Vigar is 3rd on Short Green and only 140 points shy of the leader, an M70. Annabelle Lewis is 3rd on Light Green. Although Annabelle's brother Oliver trails the leader on Orange by 500 points, his win at Blackwater put him clear in 2nd place.

What else lies in store for you throughout the season? Check out our handy calendar (below).
Venues vary from runnable forest, open hillside, moorland and mixed New Forest terrain.
These events are bigger than our QOFLs (Local 'forest' league) but still on a human scale and have toilets and often traders present.
On some of the better terrain in the South West, you get to rub shoulders with some of the best runners over nine events, from autumn to spring.
Between 10 and 20 QO members usually go and car sharing is popular amongst this group.
Pre-entering on Fabian 4 guarantees you a map but not all clubs offer this facility.
Fixtures correct as at 16 March 2020.
