World Police & Fire Games World Police & Fire Games Official 2013wpfg.com Registration Book Official Registration Book 3 Welcome to Belfast – Northern Ireland It is my pleasure to welcome you to our capital city Belfast and indeed the whole of “Our Wee Country”, Northern Ireland. We are a small country of 5,345 square miles (13,843 sq km) with a population of just over 1.8 million people. However what we lack in size we more than make up for in pride, passion and friendliness! Over the last decade our society has seen huge changes. This has resulted in a new power sharing government which has created the political stability to enable our country and its citizens to flourish. Massive investment has been made in our visitor attractions, sports facilities and our hospitality sector. In the last year Belfast has hosted the MTV Awards, opened Titanic Belfast, the World’s largest Titanic Visitor Experience which tells the story of the ship which was built in our city, whilst one of our premier golf courses hosted the Irish Open Golf Championships. Our sports facilities have been significantly upgraded for the 2013 WPFG with a new 50m swimming pool to host the Swimming events and the Toughest Competitor Alive (TCA). The Mary Peters Athletic Track has been completely refurbished to a world class standard and will host the track and field events. The world famous Ulster Hall has been refurbished for our boxing competition, whilst Newcastle, Co Down provides a stunning backdrop to a new Mountain Bike Centre. This new investment will add to our existing excellent facilities to give you the athlete the best facilities in which to compete. Here in Belfast we pride ourselves on being a warm and welcoming city. We have a wonderful story to tell, so please come to Belfast next August to compete and celebrate with your colleagues from around the world. I look forward to welcoming you and your families and friends to the “Friendliest Games!” Dame Mary Peters Patron of 2013 World Police and Fire Games 9 November 2012 4 2013 World Police & Fire Games 2013 World Police & Fire Games Board of Directors Chairperson Judith Gillespie, Deputy Chief Constable, Police Service of Northern Ireland Vice Chair Dale Ashford, Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service Max Murray, Director of Offender Services, Northern Ireland Prison Service Councillor Pat McCarthy, Belfast City Council Councillor Adam Newton, Belfast City Council Kathryn Thomson, Northern Ireland Tourist Board Cynthia Smith, Department of Culture, Arts & Leisure Danny O’Connor, Sport Northern Ireland Cathy Gallagher, Independent Michael Murray, Independent Dominic Walsh, Independent 2013 World Police & Fire Games Senior Executive Team John Tully, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Alistair McGowan, Director Marketing and Communications Bob McGarry, Director Games Delivery and Policy Peter Loughins, Operations Support Manager Mark Cowden, Director Programme Planning & Delivery Deirdre Heatley, Director Programme Support & Risk Management Seamus Murray, Director Business Services Paula White, Finance Director A special thanks is extended to all staff, sports managers and sports co-ordinaters who have made an invaluable contribution to the delivery of the 2013 World Police & Fire Games. 9 November 2012 Official Registration Book 5 World Police & Fire Games Federation Board of Directors Mike Graham, President Don Pressley Steve Stigall, Vice President Edmund Russell Kathy Hooven, Secretary Jim King Tony Adler, Treasurer Larry “LC” Collins Alan V.

This statement, condensed and potent as it is, could stand in for the questions this thesis asks and seeks to answer: why did wrestling develop as a professional, performed ‘sporting entertainment’? To answer this question, existing theories of social and sports history are combined with cultural studies methods and applied to Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of fields.

  • Who's the Daddy? Slim Version.Pdf
    Prologue The New London Theatre, Wednesday 7 March 1979 HE SHOW began with serious trumpeting. A fanfare of some importance and the audience were applauding. It felt Tlike history was being made, although some of the people there that night, figures dotted throughout the whole of Shirley Crabtree’s life, would later think differently. Once the limelight faded there would be a divided opinion on the Crabtree clan and their influence on professional wrestling, and we shall come to these matters in due course. For now, we are trying to conjure up a scene, resurrect a bit of telly history so to speak, so we’re looking down at the TV cameras, which are themselves trained on the mock-auditorium set up at the front. There is empty raised seating either side of the doors centre-stage, and a backdrop of red, brown, and cream. Every set of eyes is focused on the doors and over all of this, the shows superimposed titles come and go. Although the audience were familiar with people like Kent Walton and Dickie Davies on World of Sport on Saturday afternoons, there was a certain amount of excitement on their faces as they waited for a different kind of show to begin. This was a live recording and their unblinking eyes shining back through the fag smoke could mean only a couple of things. They were either totally transfixed as they clapped like brainwashed seals, or 11 Who’s The Daddy? they’d had a skinful in the Prince of Wales on Drury Lane before the show.
