SUMMARY:Talk: Cambridge’s Sporting Revolution with a global impact
DESCRIPTION:Explore the history of sport in Cambridge with Nigel Fenner\, author of ‘Cambridge Sport: in Fenner’s hands’!\n\n\nCambridge had a significant involvement in the English sporting revolution that went global from the mid-19th century. Whilst University students were responsible for creating the modern-day laws of football\, boxing\, and a sporting ethos\, it was Frank Fenner\, a local tobacconist and creator of ‘Fenner’s Cricket Ground’ who made a largely unheralded contribution – until now. \nAbout the speaker:\nNigel Fenner came to Cambridge to train as a teacher\, also acquiring a University Football Blue – and has lived locally ever since for over 40 years. Following a career in teaching (with young offenders\, adult with disabilities etc) Nigel today runs Cambridge Sports Tours\, majoring on the book he recently published ‘Cambridge Sport: in Fenner’s hands’. \nYou can purchase ‘Cambridge Sport: in Fenner’s hands’ at the Museum shop. For more information on the book you can also visit: https://www.cambridgesportstours.co.uk/book-for-sale \n\nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge\nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge.
