We’re incredibly excited to announce that Sam Instone will be joining QuidditchUK as the new Media Director – taking helm of the QuidditchUK brand, and developing a fresh new voice and image for our sport.

Sam brings with him a fresh enthusiasm and a laundry list of ideas, and was quick to jump onboard when we announced the changes coming to the department. With a rich background in both visual media and personnel management, as well as a constant contributor in the recent bout of video content produced by QuidditchUK; we’re excited for Sam to come in and build up the Media Department, and show off the best and brightest parts of our community.

As head of the Media Department, Sam will also be joining the Executive Management Team – Contributing to, and deciding on, key issues and changes that the sport will face in upcoming seasons.

Upon joining us, Sam Instone has this to say –

It’s my pleasure to join QuidditchUK in this new and exciting role! I have high hopes for next season and beyond in terms of the sport’s media presence and how well the community can grow it. As both a Videographer and Photographer for QuidditchUK in previous seasons, I wish to give back the same opportunities and limelight to others as I had received.

We wish you all the best in stepping up to this task Sam, we can’t wait to see what you and your new team will produce, and we’re sure you’ll do QuidditchUK and the community justice.

Sam taking up the role of Media Director marks an opportunity for more people to come in and join the expanding group of volunteers working on our new media plans. If you have a knack for videos, photos, graphics, writing, or social media then we would love to hear from you.

You can find a list of the available positions on our Volunteer Page, or if there’s something else you think you can do, feel free to get in touch via the Contact Form and let us know.

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:

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.
