Congratulations to our Club Champion 2023 - Louise Walker. Pictured above receiving the Club Championship SUFFOC Punch-Bowl and mug from our Chair, Simon Hooton. The Club Championships annually at an event staged by one of our neighbouring EAOA clubs, thus giving all SuffOC members an opportunity to compete. The results are adjusted to take into account the age of each competitor and the technical difficulty of the course so every club member has an opportunity to win. This years qualifying event was held in Epping Forest. Well done Louise!

This year's East Anglian Championships are being hosted by SuffOC at their Tangham (Rendlesham Forest) event on 5th February. Clive Wilkinson, the organiser, has requested that all 2022 trophy holders please ensure that the engraved trophy is returned so that it can be presented to the 2023 winners on the day of the event. If you're unable to attend perhaps someone else in your club would be able to return it for you? Please contact Clive if there are any issues.
