Thank you to eveyone that came along to our taster session on Saturday. A special thanks to Hugh and James from Olympians Quadball Club for coming along to help out, we all had a great time.

Our next session is on Thursday on Milfield Field at Josephine Butler College (see below for directions + map) from 6-7:30pm. Even if you didn't get a chance to come along to our taster session feel free to come along and get invloved.

How to find Milfield Field: At the small roundabout in front of Josephine Butler College take the left up the gravel track (the fire road) and follow this road round. You will pass Kirknewton and Dilston blocks and the field is at the back of Milfield block (3rd block).

Whether you are a fresher coming to Durham for the first time this week, or a returning student wanting to try something new this year, come and give Quadball (formerly known as Quidditch*) a go this year.

We will be at the sports and physical activities freshers’ fair on Tuesday 27th September, so, come and have a chat with us and find out more about this fun, inclusive, fast paced sport.

Hi all

We are changing our Sunday training times from this week onwards - they are now 13:00-15:00 (still at the Sands); the same times as on Saturdays. No more early Sunday morning get ups!

08/10/2021

Hey guys! Just a reminder about our plans this week:

Saturday 9th 13:00-15:00 - last taster session, no sign up or anything required!

Saturday 9th 19:30 - our first social of this term! We'll be going out on a college bar crawl, and you'll need a negative LFT within the past 48 hours (and a face covering since the bars are likely to be busy) We'll be meeting in Market Square.

Sunday 10th 10:00-12:00 - our first official training of this year, will be quite chill and even if you didn't attend any of our taster sessions you can still attend this (and any other training sessions). Also don't panic if you can't come to this session!

Sunday 10th 12:00 - our second social of this term! It's non-drinking this time, more chill... we'll be going on a cafe crawl! Again you'll need a negative LFT within the past 48 hours and a face covering. We'll be meeting in Market Square.

As per usual if you have any questions don't hesitate to drop a message here or to our email, [email protected]

Looking forward to seeing you Durhamstrang!

Hi guys!

Remember that there is no sign-up required for our taster sessions!

Just a quick reminder that we will be doing a walk down to the sands from the DSU to make sure you don’t get lost - meet us at 20 minutes to the hour!

Looking forward to seeing some of you at 12:40 at the DSU or 13:00 at the Sands today, otherwise we’ll see you tomorrow or next Saturday!
