Following on from the enforced Covid lockdown and the long summer break, University of Westminster students have returned at the start of the 2020 -2021 accademic year with an increased enthuasim for “outside sports”. The QHMG is being used to capacity by the students – hockey, football, tennis, netball, rugby, to name but a few. University rowing is also taking place at the Quintin Boat Club and has seen an increase in participation.

Chris Rolfe – Student Union Sports Co-ordinator says

“Lock-down proved a busy period for the SU, actively maintaining contact with the students has created many opportunities for creative thinking. – whilst we have developed many successful on-line programmes to engage with students, it is great to be out and to have Sports facilities that are for use principally by the University – It is really fantastic that we have managed to accommodate so many sports in one place and that there is a visible surge in uptake.”
