Oxford Universities Quidditch Club (OUQC) is the quidditch club of both the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University. It is composed of two teams: a first team, the Radcliffe Chimeras, and a reserve second team, the Quidlings.[1] Both teams are official QuidditchUK (QUK) teams. QUK is the UK quidditch governing body, and is a constituent part of the International Quidditch Association (IQA).
The club was formed as Oxford Quidditch on the 20th November, 2011 and adopted its current name in 2013. The club has seen much success, with the Radcliffe Chimeras a substantial amount of national and international titles. These include the first annual British Quidditch Cup, and the most recent European Quidditch Cup, in late 2013 and early 2014. Both teams compete in the season-long competition organised by QuidditchUK called The Challenge Shield, the first matches of were played in September 2014.[2][3]
The club played in Worcester College for six months, before moving to a permanent marked out field in Oxford's University Parks in May 2012, which remains their current home.[4]
