SW Summer Relays
Next: Poole
It's all hanging on the final relay, as Wessex pipped us by a minute at Ringwood. Wessex now need win at Holton Lee nature reserve this Sunday, to win the series. Any other result, and we win it.
Sarum relay
More wins!
QO recruited some urban orienteering specialists for our Warminster Garrison test and we won the Moonraker Trophy for the first time! In doing so, we kept our prospects of a series win alive. The juniors won their relay and our other seniors were third.

Bristol Relay
Blaise Castle
Another great day out at the fourth event of the SWOA summer relay series.
Bristol OK hosted this one, the 50th Adams Avery relay, at Blaise Castle Estate just outside Bristol and QO were up against some of the best teams around.

Double success
We had two triumphs in the rolling grounds of Knightshayes NT on Sunday. Our leading senior team Status QO won the Byfoot trophy awarded on a handicap basis. Kid Pro QO won the junior trophy.
North Wilts Relay
Badbury Hill & news
Richard, Tom & Chris flew the flag for QO at the first SWOA relay event of the season on Sunday, over at Badbury Hill, nr. Swindon.
They finished a creditable 4th out of 10 SWOA teams.
Yvette Baker Trophy (YBT)
National junior competition
Unfortunately, but possibly unsurprisingly given the distance involved, we weren't able to raise a full team to go to the final at Sandringham Estate, Norfolk in July 2019.

Final, West Midlands
Backed by our brilliant support team, 18 members ran for the club at the national final of this inter-club tournament on Sunday. Up against some very stiff competition, we still managed to beat a couple of clubs.
