Clearly the content would have been somewhat different but the underlying messages are on the same theme. Our enforced closure after afternoon groups on Friday, 13th March has, I know, been disruptive for everybody. It is, after all, an important part of our weekly routine to attend U3A at Shaftesbury Street or to meet as walkers or cyclists and I am sure we are all feeling a great sense of loss. This magazine will, I hope, have filled at least a small gap and the online activities of the groups that are able to do something is, I am sure, a boon to their participants. I still hear of new initiatives and any further ideas will be most welcome! Desert Island Times is being circulated beyond Newport U3A – I send each edition to members in Caldicot, Torfaen, Usk, Dartmouth and Odiham (Surrey) U3As and to others who are not currently members of any U3A.

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.

  • 2011-12 Annual Report
    British Wrestling Association INTRODUCTION Annual Report A message from the Chair The first issue I wish to address is the 2012 London Olympics. You will all be aware that as host nation to the Olympic Games, the British Wrestling Association (BWA) was awarded 3 host nation places by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on the condition if that we automatically qualified then the three host nation places would be reduced accordingly. It was always going to be a step too far by London 2012 to expect any of our male athletes to qualify automatically as the gap between their international experience and accomplishments and automatic qualification could not be bridged in the time available. The position relative to a small number of our female athletes was different but hampered by issues of gaining British citizenship. The British Olympic Association (BOA) are invested with the authority to endorse or deny the BWA their host nation places and accordingly an agreement was drawn up between the BOA and the BWA which set the guidelines for acceptance of the host nation places. The conditions were tough but, in my view, achievable. The BOA's stance was always that any athlete put forward should be capable of a 'credible performance.' Unfortunately, our male athletes missed compliance with the Olga Butkevych signs into Team GB wall of fame agreement, in some cases by the narrowest of margins. Nevertheless, all the athletes put forward were capable of giving a 2011-12 credible performance at the Games. The Year in Review August 2012 When it came to ratification of our host nation places the BOA refused to accept two of those places.
