The One with the  QuidditchUK Presidents Part 1 In our first ever two part episode, we sat down to talk with 4 out of 5 of the QuidditchUK Presidents. Rob Barringer, Ben Morton, Mel Piper and Matt Bateman joined us for what ended up being a 3 hour conversation about their respective experiences leading Quidditch in the UK and shedding light on what it takes to run a National Governing Body for an emerging sport. Part 1 focuses more on the origins of quidditch in the UK, the establishment of QuidditchUK as an organisation and where it went on to from there. Part 2 is more centred on the challenges of the last couple of years as well as looking to the future of the sport.  Listen on Spotify Listen on Anchor We hope you enjoy this Part 1, make sure you watch out for Part 2 coming next week.
