Crickley Hill Results
Many thanks to Rob Finch, plus helpers, for the Western Night League finale at Crickley Hill. It was a pleasantly warm evening with great views (even in the dark) over Gloucestershire.
Results are now published on the Results page and Routegadget is there for you to track where you went. You will also find Rob’s comments on the evening, and a form inviting you to comment as well, on any aspect of the event.
CompassSport Cup Heats
Huge congratulations to everyone who braved the wind and rain on Sunday to see us beat both BOK and DEVON and win our heat of the CompassSport Cup. There were noteworthy performances across the board, with the juniors doing extremely well, but strong representation on the scoreboard across all age classes; perhaps the first time for a long time that we have had scorers on all 12 courses. The final is on 14th September on sand dunes at South Gare, near Redcar, hosted by CLOK, so that promises to be a different experience and good fun. Save the date!

NGOC 2025 League 2 – Soudley – now postponed to October

NGOC 2025 League 2 – Soudley Ponds – 15 February
A brief note to say that we have temporarily closed entries for League 2 at Soudley Ponds, scheduled for Saturday 15 Feb, due to permission not being given by Forestry England. We are urgently looking at alternative dates and/or locations, and will update the website once we have a plan in place.
Note that League 1 at Mallards Pike on Saturday 18 January is unaffected, and entries are still open for this event, for which permission has been given.
