At the EGM last month, the club passed a Gender Equity Statement. You can find it here: Gender Equity Statement

We think this is an important step in achieving gender equality in our club, as well as promoting it to others in ultimate and the wider sporting community.

We will hold ourselves accountable, and plan to review it and evaluate how well, as a club, we stuck to these aims and actions at the AGM next year.
