QuidditchUK is excited to announce the locations for the 2017/18 season’s Northern Cup and Southern Cup.

This year’s Southern Cup will once again be held at Millbrook Rugby Club in Southampton, this season on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th November.

This year’s Northern Cup will be held at Hallam Sports Park in Sheffield on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th November.

QuidditchUK received two bids for each regional with The Concord Sports Centre, Sheffield and Whiteknights Campus, Reading, being the alternative bids for Northern and Southern Cup respectively.

Although The Concord Sports Centre submitted a strong bid, and is also based in Sheffield along with the winning bid, the facilities on offer as part of the winning bid were clearly superior. Hallam Sports Park was chosen based on the availability of floodlights and the facilities it offered as part of Sheffield Hallam University.

Initially, Whiteknights Campus Reading University was selected as the location for Southern Cup 2017 due to the good facilities on site and it being a more central location for teams in the region. However when QuidditchUK attempted to confirm the booking, the venue informed us that they were not in fact able to host the event until December. Without the provision of floodlights hosting a tournament in December proved too impractical, as such, Millbrook Rugby Club, Southampton, has been chosen instead. Millbrook Rugby Club hosted Southern Cup 2016 and we’re confident that Southampton will once again prove to be a good venue.

Both Northern and Southern Cup are scheduled to take place later in the season than in 2016/17. This decision has been taken to give teams a greater chance to recruit and train before the regional competitions, in line with previous event feedback from our clubs. However, in a break from tradition the order of the regionals has not been switched, and it should be noted that the decision to host Northern Cup later in the season than Southern Cup for the second year in a row was due to the availability of floodlights at Hallam Sports Park.

Committee positions will open by the end of the week and will be found at https://quidditchuk.org/volunteer. Applications for the Regionals Committees will close on Sunday 30th July. Please direct any questions you might have to Tom Challinor at gameplay@quidditchuk.org.

Lucy and Chazz Stepping Down From Team Wales

We're pleased to announce that Izzy Brown has been appointed as the next Vice President!

Izzy shared the following words when we asked them about their new role.

"I first joined Quadball in 2020 as a university fresher. I knew I wanted to play a full-contact sport, but being non-binary, I wasn't sure a space like that would exist for me, but then I found Warwick Quadball during my first week, and never looked back! 4 years later, I've been Warwick's media officer, welfare, president, and captain, and as I deliver the club into very capable hands, I want to bring my knowledge and experience of Quadball in the current university league to EMT! I'm really looking forward to working with University teams to support with recruitment and provide them a voice, as well as with Community clubs to help bridge the gap between the two leagues!"

We're excited to have Izzy as part of the team whilst we plan for the next season.

In other exciting news, Izzy isn't the only new addition to the Presidential department. We also have three new roles that are open for applications:

New Vice President and Other Presidential Department Roles

Welcome to new Vice President, Izzy Brown!

Quadball UK and Team England are delighted to announce that our new sponsor for the front of the shirt for the 2024/25 season will be Partners in Health, via author John Green (The Fault in Our Stars, Turtles All the Way Down). 

Partners in Health's mission statement reads in part "Our mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. By establishing long-term relationships with sister organizations based in settings of poverty, Partners In Health strives to achieve two overarching goals: to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair."

John Green said “I am so excited to support this awesome sport and to bring more attention to the essential work of Partners in Health.”

Quadball UK President Dec Ramsay said "I am absolutely thrilled to have John and Rosianna partner with us at this incredible time for Quadball as we look to grow in the 2024/25 season. England will be proudly wearing the Partners in Health logo on their new kits which will debut at the home European Games this summer. We all are united in the importance sport plays in growing communities and we are so excited to start this new partnership!"

The England team will be releasing their new kit, with the Partners in Health logo on the chest, shortly for purchase via VC Ultimate.

New Sponsorship Announced: Partners in Health

This announcement is just the first step as we prepare to host the European Games. For athletes and teams, details such as team and player registration, accommodation, and more will be posted shortly by the IQA. 

To the UK Quadball community, we will need all the help we can get to make this the biggest and best event possible - this is an incredible opportunity to help build the sport and anyone interested in volunteering should get in touch with the IQA or QUK. 

And finally if you are just excited to attend, as we get closer to the event we will share details about tickets, socials, and more. For now, update your calendars - it's going to be a great weekend.
