One Moment

One Moment’s first Quidditch Tournament, held on the 22nd of March, was a magical affair. Three teams took to the sky, while a plethora of volunteers prepared and sold hot chocolate, fanbags, and wands to the eager spectators. Even though the wind was beating furiously that day, everyone managed to stay on their brooms, and They Who Shall Not Be Named went home with the gold! Excited young muggles swarmed the teams at the end of the event, asking for autographs and posing for pictures.

We’d like to thank everyone who came out - the spectators, participants, and volunteers. With your help, One Moment managed to raise over $300 for charity!

Check out a video of compiled clips from the match here:

We’ve also uploaded an entire picture album as well.
Rebecca Schneidereit has provided us with a written account of the day’s events, be sure to check it out!

Well, Muggle Quidditch.

That’s right! As part of a fundraising effort for OneMoment, we’re planning on holding a Dalhousie Quidditch event sometime this semester. We’re still in the early planning stages at the moment, and would like to gauge the amount of interest in the Dalhousie population. Namely, we need Quidditch teams.

We’re currently aiming for four teams - ideally all teams will get together before the actual event to learn the rules of Muggle Quidditch and have a few games against each other. Each team member will be charged a $2 entrance fee to help us cover some costs and will be responsible for their own team costume (only cloaks are mandatory). BYOB (bring your own broom - mandatory. You can’t fly without a broom!) as well, no sharpened ends please.

If you’re interested in getting a team together, contact me or post on facebook with your preferred position and teammates. You don’t need all seven people to make a team - feel free to sign up as an individual as well and I’ll slot you into a group.

Head on after the break for a few more details!

OneMoment’s Grawood Event was a great success! The music was great and the good times ran freely - thank you to everyone who made our first fundraising event possible! We couldn’t have done it without you. Make sure to take a look at the photos of the event. As of today, we have raised $401.61 in proceeds!
Now that another year has gone by, a new blinking baby semester is ours to raise as we like. We have already planned several fun and zany events for the upcoming weeks and we will keep you updated as the details emerge. If you would like to be a part of this volunteer-wise, please be sure to send us a quick email to be added to the pool.
Thank you all, and Happy New Year!
