As we approach the end of the 2021/22 season, QuidditchUK are confident that we have delivered the return to play and slightly reduced season that we outlined in the summer of last year. While there were alterations and cancellations that were out of QUK’s control, we delivered the majority of our fixtures and successfully completed a BQC with separate leagues to crown Werewolves of London Firsts and Southampton Quidditch Club as our respective  Community and University Champions.

The plan for the 2022/23 season structure remains largely unchanged from the 2021/22 season just played. The new season will begin in early June, with members and member clubs needing to purchase their 22/23 membership from the 1 June 2022. 

We have chosen not to specify venues or cities for any of our events yet as these are not all signed off. We have confirmed specific regions as far as we are able and we are in discussions with venues for the upcoming season already. Details will be released as soon as they are available. We will also continue carrying out COVID-19 passport checks for the 2022/23 season as a precautionary measure, as long as that service remains available. 

QuidditchUK 22/23 Season Structure Announced

QuidditchUK are excited and proud to announce that Josh Fogg will be taking on the mantle of President. After a long and difficult search, we’re pleased to say we’ve found the perfect person for the role.

Over an illustrious quidditch career so far, Fogg states how proud they are of their previous presidency at Manchester Universities Quidditch Club and being part of the biggest recruitment year has ever seen as this gave the club the ability to establish a second team. During their time with QUK so far, they have reformed the way QUK report finances, leading to more transparent expenditure. Most recently, Josh led on the 21/22 member survey, providing an insightful snapshot into the community that we all love. 

Their quidditch prowess also extends beyond volunteering and onto the pitch, including a 1st place team at Valentines cup 2020 and a 4th place spot at EQT with Olympians the same year! 

With years of quidditch and volunteering experience under their belt, Josh is now on their third Executive Team role, this time in the Presidential department. This role follows their successful run as Operations Director from 2018 to 2020, as well as their more recent position as Volunteers Director since July 2020.

The Executive Team are also thrilled to have Josh on board as President, and can’t wait to see where the sport goes under their leadership. 

Josh went on to say “I wouldn't be me if I didn't also plug recruitment! Do check out our volunteer openings page, we've roles for any commitment level or area of interest. If you've ideas for the betterment of the sport, be the change you want to see!"

So, do be sure to check out the volunteer opportunities and fill out the form at the bottom of the page if any of those are of interest to you! 

Wishing the best of luck and the heartiest congratulations to Josh Fogg, our newest QUK President!

British Quidditch Cup 2022

In December last year, Quidditch UK saw the Expansion and Teams departments merge into one shiny new Clubs department, meaning there's now a single dedicated contact for all club related support. So far, they’ve organised of the winter transfer window, as well as seen some new clubs start sprouting across the country. Now, we are pleased to announce that the new Clubs Director will be none other than our former secretary, Chloe Durkin! 

The former Bangor player has been with QUK as secretary since 2020, and while she’s been invaluable to the Presidential department, we’re sure she’s happy to finally have those sweet EMT voting powers. At the helm of a brand new department, Chloe intends to focus on university teams, and the newer teams appearing across the community.

We’re confident that Chloe’s going to do a wonderful job in the brand new position, and look forward to seeing where she takes the department! 

Chloe's new appointment as Clubs Director leaves the role of Secretary open for applications. This role sits within the Presidential Department along with the role of President, which is also still open. If either of these roles are of interest to you, please get in touch via the volunteering form below, or find out more about all of our volunteering opportunities.

We're trialling this idea to help players get a better understanding of what UK quidditch's national governing body (that's us!) do month-to-month. These are intended to be more formal than our newsletter, serving as a monthly digest of our weekly executive minutes. Like this idea? Hate it? Thoroughly ambivalent? Let us know!
