Netherclay JOG 31st January 2026
Postponed
Reluctantly we have decided to postpone the Netherclay JOG due to take place on Saturday 31st January. There has been extensive flooding and, although some of the water has receded, the forecast indicates that the water levels will rise again with the prospects of parts of the course being under water.
We will contact you as soon as we have a new date for this event. Thank you for your continued support and patience.
November and December News
We are reporting on the conclusion to the JOG term and two recent QOFL results amongst others. There are several members taking up new roles and one new volunteer opportunity. And we have news of future events.
