Multisports Weekend 2026
After a successful run in the early 1980s, the OO Multisports Weekend was revived in 1995 and has grown in size, spirit and friendly rivalry ever since. Each year, OOs compete in a wide range of sports against School teams, with points awarded to winning matches. The team with the highest total is awarded the Multisports Trophy on the Sunday afternoon.
In 2025, the School claimed the trophy—and we are determined to win it back in 2026!
Dates for the diary:
Saturday 7 March 2026 (from 2pm)
Sunday 8 March 2026 (ending 2pm)
Sports typically include:
Ergo (Mixed), Squash (Mixed), Tennis (Mixed), Hockey (Men’s & Ladies), Men’s Football, Cross Country (Mixed), Rifle Shooting (Mixed), Water Polo (Mixed), Rugby (Men’s Vets & U23), Fives, Badminton (Mixed), Ladies’ Netball— with plans to introduce new sports for 2026.
This is an event for everyone — young or old, men or women, complete teams or solo players. Sporting ability is absolutely not a requirement (in fact, it can sometimes be a disadvantage!). All you need is enthusiasm and a willingness to embellish your post-match stories. Partners, families and parents are warmly encouraged to spectate and enjoy the social side of the weekend.
More details for how to sign up will be released in January 2026.

The Old Oundelian Golfing Society was formally founded in 1930, today it has around 200 members, male and female, with a busy fixture list throughout the year on some wonderful courses.
The premier competition in the calendar is the Halford Hewitt Cup – the premier schools’ old-pupils competition. OOGS (as Oundle) has won it twice: in 1962 and again in 1997. The Annual Golf Weekend was first played at Luffenham Heath GC in 1948 and has been held there every year since (even in 2020!). The Society is fortunate to have such a welcoming club at which to stage this meeting in October, and all the Oundelians who visit there enjoy playing on such a splendid course which has been much upgraded in recent years.
Details of how to join OOGS can be obtained from President Peter Pentecost (St A 73) or Secretary Nick Copestick (Ldr 69)
