Remembering Bob Lloyd
We're sad to announce that Bob Lloyd has passed away. Bob was a QO member for about 50 years, and did a huge amount for the club. He died peacefully on 8th March at the age of 86.
February Roundup
February was a fairly low-key month as far as QO-organised events go, but QO members have been busy taking part in events elsewhere, including some big competitions.
QO at the Taunton Half Marathon
7 QO members took on the 40th edition of the Taunton Half Marathon, which saw a impressive 2000 runners take on the 13.1 mile undulating course heading west out of Taunton. Adam even managed to take home one of the trophies!
QO success at the British Champs 2026!
9 QO members made the trek up to Carreg Coch in South Wales to do battle with the finest Welsh mountain terrain at the British Champs.
Another Street Series programme comes to an end!
Our congratulations go to:
Long course league overall winner Robin Fieldhouse and top female Hazel Mudd.
Short course league overall winner Ray Toomer and top female Emily Macpherson.
January Review
Our 2026 programme is well underway, most of you have remembered to renew your membership, and many of us have ventured out to events. Here is a round-up of news from the last month or so.
Compass Sports Trophy
Last Call for Entries
This is the final call for QO entries for the CompassSport Trophy at Affpuddle on Sunday 22 February 2026. Please enter via the club captain only so we can submit a single QO team entry as required for this closed inter‑club competition. Details in the article.
