Executives
Morgyn Benstead
President
Morgyn was the founding treasurer of the ANU Harry Potter Club in 2011, and often wonders what she’d be doing with her life these days if she hadn’t been. She took over the emergent Australian Quidditch Association in December 2011 and is very proud to have been part of making it, so to say, ‘a thing’.
When she’s not organising quidditch, Morgyn enjoys playing quidditch, watching quidditch, and not doing her homework due to quidditch. Occasionally the non-quidditch world intrudes (how rude) and Morgyn remembers that she’s in her third year of a Bachelor of Languages at ANU and works as a nanny.

JC Seedoyal
Treasurer
James Hosford
Sporting Director
James (more commonly called ‘Hosford’) is the imaginary coach, referee, scorer and reporter for the imaginary first ever professional quidditch match. His conflict of interest is topped only by his passion for sports, shining through in his penchant for devising amazingly complicated plays for the Newcastle Fireballs, and for incredibly detailed sports journalism. Check out his work on the British and Irish Quidditch League, or see hosfordgames.wordpress.com.
James graduated from a creative writing degree at the University of Newcastle in 2011, and now likes to describe himself as “simultaneously the greatest champ and the stupidest dude”. He also plays the drums and has regular epic drawn-out fencing matches with his younger brother.
Eva Alexandra
Media Director
Eva is based in Perth and currently “rules” the Western Australian Quidditch Association as Vice President alongside Miss QUAFL 2012, James Hyder. She plays as a defensive chaser for the Perth Phoenixes and also indulges in yelling training with the Murdoch Mandrakes. Notorious for getting injured at every quidditch event, it has been said that Eva’s set of brass balls are too big for her 5′ built. Go figure.
By night, Eva teams up with Jenn Meers of Victoria to head the Media and Marketing department and do their best to make management meetings sleazier than they should be. But by day, Eva is an undergraduate studying Economics and History and waits tables at a beach side cafe as a Senior Waitress, to fund all her quidditch expenditure.
Jenn Meers
Marketing Director
Jenn has been involved in quidditch since the early days of the Victorian Quidditch Association in
2011 and plays chaser with the Melbourne Manticores.
In typical management student style, Jenn always finds plenty of projects to fill her time. Whether
that be marketing with the AQA, events with the VQA, producing theatre and events or, somewhere
in there, recently finding time to complete her Diploma of Events, and get on with studies as a
second year Entertainment Business Management student.
On the rare occasion that she has spare time, Jenn enjoys drinking excessive amounts of tea and
admiring beards.
