Congratulations to the HOC team who competed in today’s Compass Sport Cup regional qualifier at Clumber Park. Captain Kerstin says: We are superstars!!!!

Anyone interested should email Paul.

A second message form our southern neighbours, updating the situation: Further to the earlier post below, FE have now informed us of large exclusion zones covering most of the area, so this means the event is now infeasible.
