OO Multisports Weekend

Multisports is a prestigious annual event open to all OOs, of all ages. You do not need to be an athlete to take part, basic skills and a vague knowledge of the sport you want to play are all you need.

Almost all sports are covered over the weekend and this year’s schedule can be found below.

As well as the opportunity to take part in a wide range of sporting activities, there is also an OO Art Exhibition in the Yarrow Gallery, supper and a party at The Ship on the Saturday evening, coffee and croissants on Sunday morning and lunch followed by the presentation from the Head.

Partners, children, parents and pets are all very welcome. Come in a group or come on your own. The vibe is mix and mingle, so please don’t be coy.

To take part in any of the sports listed below, please email the relevant OO Sports Secretary listed here.

If you do not see a sport or rep listed, please contact the Multisports Coordinator, Arthur Marment (D 77) on  0779125 0218
