Forget the Oscars, Sarum’s annual glittering dinner and celebration of achievement and contribution was the event of the month. Over 40 Sarum members, including a good contingent of juniors, gathered at Wellow Golf Club for the occasion. After a lovely meal created and served by Chef Mike and his team attention turned to the annual…
A tremendous all round team effort saw Sarum emerge as winners of the Compass Sport Trophy Heat event at Roundhills Nr. Brockenhurst in The New Forest. It may seem at first that the only results that matter are those of the course winners and high scorers but without depth in numbers and the vibrant spirit…
Sarum Saunter 2019 You have to be pleased for Martin and Pat. After a delay of 12 months the Sarum Saunter on Great Ridge finally took place. Gone were the snows that caused two cancellations last year, albeit replaced by gales and two spectacular hailstorms and the inevitable mud. Despite the impact of the weather…

Dave had found an ideal assembly and parking area in the middle…
Oh well, you can’t win them all. After the cancellation of our regional qualifying heat due to the bad weather, the final was always going to be a busy affair and so it proved when Walton Chasers hosted the CSC and CST finals at Hayward Warren on Cannock Chase. Some 1061 orienteers from 26 clubs…
Sarum Score Successes The British Schools Score Championships were held this year at Moors Valley Country Park which made it practical to try to put in a team of our new youngsters. As this is a schools event there were just three small teams representing Harnham, St. Marks and Grateley House junior schools but all…
