Presidential

This month has seen us working with other intentional bodies on EQC, EG, and of course the renaming of the sport. In particular, Matt Bateman (QUK's President) has taken up a position on the IQA's name change committee, helping bring the UK community's voice to the table.

Clubs

We received a few transfers after the transfer window closed, those have now been responded to. We've also continued to liaise with the new clubs at Royal Holloway and Birmingham.

Following the postponement of our southern fixture we had had a clash with the planned date for General Forum, so this will be rescheduled in March-April.

Events

We unfortunately had to postpone our second southern university fixture due to Storm Eunice and cancel our second northern university fixture, also due to weather impacting the venue.
