Committee
Club Captain
Paige Charnley
3rd Year, Veterinary Medicine
After a second year with Bristol Volleyball as Secretary and B team player, I decided to take it one step further and go for Club Captain. We’ve got lots of incredible things planned and with me as your Club Captain and our amazing committee I’m sure it’ll all run smoothly. Please drop me a message if you have any questions. I’m super excited for this upcoming year with you all! See you all soon!!
Much love, Paige x
Vice Club Captain
Kostas Anastasakis
2nd Year, Cyber Security PhD
Middle-aged, not very patient, sarcastic, rarely serious, not particularly successful nor skillful. I just keep pushing forward...
Secretary
Leila Zanjani
2nd Year, International Business Management
My 1st year in the UOBVC as the Women's C team captain was so fun that I wanted to get more involved and join the committee. If you ask anyone, volleyball is my number one, so I’ll always give it my all and I hope you’ll see those efforts in the club this year. Send me a message if you have any questions and I’ll be more than happy to help, anytime!! I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic year in the UOBVC so make sure to get involved, have fun, and play some volleyball in the best club Bristol has to offer
social secretary
Emily Williams

If you love volleyball and meeting new people as much as we do, then we’re definitely the club for you. I joined the UOBVC in my second year and have not looked back since. This year we plan to bring you a load of fun and exciting socials from fancy dress, mini games and the occasional drinks deal! Feel free to drop me or Cristina a message if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you all at the socials :)

Heyy everyone! I’m Cristina and I’m one of the social secs for UOBVC. I’m so excited to have the opportunity to create the social scene for volleyball this year. We have so many events with different themes planned, open to everyone, so we can’t wait to see loads of faces, new and old. I’m very outgoing and chatty so please don’t hesitate to come and say hello! :)))
Treasurer
Liam Bloomfield
2nd Year, Engineering Mathematics
Hello everyone! I’m this year’s treasurer so fingers crossed we don’t go bankrupt this year. I’m pretty chill and a bit goofy, so don’t hesitate to say hi I’m currently playing as a setter but don’t mind playing any position honestly, I find volleyball to be fun in general! I’m always happy to help when I can as well so I look forward to seeing you on the court : D

PR & Communications
Molly Trafford

Hey everyone, I’m Molly and for second year in a row i’ll be UOBVCs PR and Comms. I’m excited for another year of spending time on canva instead of doing uni work :)
This year I hope to keep everyone even more updated about the club including the weekly matches, socials, merch drops and much more. I’m really looking forward to this year to see everyone again and meet new club members (on court and definitely at the socials)
kit & equipment secretary
Jake Stidwill
3rd Year, Civil Engineering
Hello newbies, my name is Jake and I'm this year's kit and merch secretary. It's my job to make sure that the club will be stepping out in fresh merch when lounging at home, travelling to away games and most importantly keeping warm on the bench (mostly for me). Having stepped down from vice club captain last year, I know what it is like to be part of the University of Bristol Volleyball Club, and would love for you to get involved and enjoy it as much as I have! I'm looking forwards to meeting you all, supporting everyone at games, training and most importantly having a boogy in the club (maybe getting too old for it now). See you soon!
Web manager
Jovan Navjee
3rd Year, Economics
As a man who cares about presentation and first impressions, I decided to take care of the website and ensure it is a great representation of our club as I truly believe volleyball and the people I've met from this sport are amazing. On the court, I'm a libero who loves to dive and strives for positive passing because I cannot jump to save my life. You'll most likely see me at one of the games or at any of our incredible socials. I hope to meet you soon

Alumni Secretary
Jonathan Butler
3rd Year, Civil Engineering
Hi Guys! I’m Jon, a 3rd year Civil engineering student and I am this year's Alumni Sec! Overcome by the pain each of being forced to say good by to too many lovely volleyballers, it is now my mission to bring them back as much as possible so they can see all they’re missing out on. If you’re an alumni, look out for social tournaments, nights out and much more! Rumour has it, I’ll be the first alumni sec to do something
Events Manager
Isabella Sanchez Robayo
2nd Year, Law
Heya, my name is Isa, and I’m thrilled to be your events manager this year! Aside from keeping our events and formals running smoothly, I'm also a law student. Yep, I'm here to prove that even with my head buried in laws, contracts, and torts, I can still manage to make our events as exciting and fun as possible. On the court, you’ll likely find me playing outside otherwise, I’ll probably be the one requesting reggaeton at the socials on Wednesdays. Can’t wait to meet all of you and if you see me feel free to come over and say hi :))
Tour Secretary
Josh Veitch
3rd Year, Civil Engineering
I’m back as the club’s first ever tour sec. Sun, sand and skyballs, Tour is not to be missed and I’ll make sure everyone gets there in one piece. I’m always up for a chat about Tour or how to transition from Middle to Libero
