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.

    protecting and improving the environment Newsletter 158 Sept 2013 Inside: 40 years to celebrate... EDITORIAL The Civic Society is gearing up for its 40th Anniversary celebrations. You will find an invitation to join in on page 19 – please do come along! In this issue, we have compiled a diverse mixture of news, views and reports, along with a fascinating insight into the history of the Civic Society. Karen Attwood - - - - - - - - - - - - A DAY TO REMEMBER The latest blue plaque unveiling was somewhat different from the previous ones. Maybe because this time the daughter of the person being commemorated was the big draw for many local people! After all, it isn't very often that a currently famous Hollywood star, English born, pays a visit to Beeston, accompanied by a host of other film and theatrical notables. Kate Beckinsale came to unveil a blue plaque to her actor father the late Richard Beckinsale, star of Rising Damp and Porridge, among others, on Thursday July 17th at College House Junior School, where he was a former pupil. It was a day that will long be remembered locally, especially by the school staff and children. Judy Loe, Richard's widow, mother of Kate and a well known actress in her own right (and a particular favourite of mine) helped in the unveiling. Looking very attractive and much younger than her sixty odd years, she spoke about Richard, who tragically died at the age of thirty one, and her memories of him and his Beeston family. His sisters Judith 2 and Wendy and their families were also present.
