This was for operations and radiotherapy treatment for a tumour at the back of my left eye. The condition is called an ocular melanoma, and is very rare, as only one in twenty thousand people have it, and only three consultants in the country perform the procedure I had done. Whilst I like to be different, there are not many advantages in this case, as obtaining advice is difficult. However, I am gradually recovering, and I returned to school on a very reduced timetable in July. I hope to be back to full strength by Christmas. My eye is still painful and I find it difficult to read and use the computer for any length of time. As a result, I have not been able to contribute as much as usual to the work of the BÖU since Christmas, but you will see from the magazine that our work continues unabated. On your behalf, my grateful thanks go to our committee, who have carried out all our normal duties. In particular, I would like to thank Margaret Chamberlain for her unwavering support and kindness. Also Gill Metcalfe, Rosemary Moon, Ida Webb for the magazine and Pat Chatters for taking my place at the Sports Awards. My special thanks go to Jilly, who has shouldered most of the burden. On a personal note, the support I have had from my BÖU family has been invaluable, and I thank all of you for your visits and calls, and for listening to me! I know that many of our members will be going through, or have gone through, something similar, and you will know how much your friends mean in these circumstances. I hope to see many of you at our reunion in September, when our guest speaker will be Jo Harris of the afPE1 and the Mayor of Dartford will be our guest for lunch. In the meantime, I wish you good health and happiness. Anne Stuart 1The association for Physical Education 2 The Bergman Österberg Union 2008 Olympic year reminder:Ann Packer (1963) wins ‘Gold’ Letter from the Editor As it is now countdown time to the Beijing Olympics it seemed fitting to remind ex students of Ann Packer’s “Gold”2 achievement in the Tokyo games (1964). I am sure the College celebrated this win by one of its former students. The editorial contains a note of disappointment: the lack of news from former students.This is the section immediately turned to on receipt of the Magazine; we want to hear from you! Such absence has given space for last year’s exclusions; the eulogies omitted now have their place. My thanks go to the contributors of these, with an apology that they appear a year on. Congratulations go to our patron Rachael Heyhoe-Flint on her OBE, awarded this year3. Sheila Norman’s article, her ‘dream come true’, is concluded; the text is so evocative of Dartford student life - the combination of hard work, the fun and the recognition of being a part of tradition.This is not only Sheila’s memory! The two articles which follow reinforce the impact of Madame Österberg and that of her students – worldwide. 2 Cutting from ‘Telegraph Sport’ (4th March, 2008) 3 Article included in this Magazine; from ‘The Sunday Times Magazine’;April 2008 The Bergman Österberg Union 2008 3 The annual award ceremonies remind that these tributes to MBÖ prompt memories – such a heritage to retain; hence the repetition here that your memories, documents and photographs might find their way into the Archive at some juncture – if you can part with them. Several of the “Dartford” year songs and poems have been included this year; I suspect that some of you will be singing along with your read! Change is afoot on the Dartford site; it’s goodbye Oakfield, New Allerloo and the Bergman building this summer with the demolition of the ‘new’ swimming pool sometime next year. The ‘old’ pool will also be demolished – it’s still under the floorboards of the Sports Hall which also makes way for the new buildings.With the recent confirmation of an £85 million budget re-development plan, little of today’s campus will be left. However, Kingsfield (to be refurbished – and to be the pivotal building of the campus – no less) will remain along with the cricket pitch and Madame’s tree! The committee has welcomed Pat Chatters to the post of Registrar on the retirement of Hilary Gunnell.Thank you Hily for all your hard work, and thank you Pat for joining us. Finally, the news from Mary Hunt4 offers an exceptional insight into the friendships made whilst at College – and still going strong 50 years on – well done the year group of 57. My thanks go again to Dr Ida Webb5 for her help with initial proof-reading of the Magazine! Enjoy the read – and the Olympics!

PRESIDENT’S REMARKS Dear Friends, Thank you for coming to our Annual General Meeting and Reunion today. It is a great delight to be in this lecture hall today.The last time many of us met was in a hospital where I was experiencing the ups and downs of life there as a patient. I am very grateful for all the letters and cards you sent me, and the visits you paid me. I am sure they all helped with my recovery. Frequent phone calls enabled me to keep in close touch with the Vice-President, Chairman and Secretary. Today there is a special welcome for Rosemary Fisher, honoured former BÖU Chairman and Helen Newman who is well versed in the ideals and traditions of Martina Bergman Österberg and now combines this with a forward looking approach. We are also very glad Sheila Cutler has been able to come with her successor Rosemary Moon and speak about the Archives.

  • Of Women's Cricket
    Confronting the ‘whiteness’ of women’s cricket: Excavating Hidden Truths and Knowledge to make sense of non-white women’s experiences in cricket Introduction Many feminist scholars have noted that ‘sport history remains the history of man’s involvement in sport’ (Vertinsky, 1994: 1; Osborne and Skillen, 2010); yet the extent to which sports history - particularly British sports history - continues to privilege a history of ‘whiteness’ by failing to interrogate racist and gendered ideologies is even more troubling. The absence of documented research on women’s historical experiences in sport exposes both the masculinisation of the sport, as well as the maleness of this documented history. As van Ingen (2013: 106) states when investigating the history of women’s boxing: The lack of critical and nuanced historical inquiry on women’s boxing history is not solely the fault of poor historical sources. Rather, scholars have paid insufficient attention to how gender, racism, and white privilege have obscured various accounts of history within women’s boxing. However, the absence of historical research on non-white1 women is even more problematic, and more pervasive when it comes to the sport of cricket. Despite a wealth of research into ‘race’, racism and the imperial dimensions of cricket - to the extent that Jack Williams has stated that ‘[r]ace was at the heart of cricket throughout the twentieth century’ (Williams, 2001) - almost all of this literature has focused entirely on the men’s game. Experiences of female cricketers have either been sidelined or worse still, simply ignored. Indeed the whiteness and maleness of historical analyses of cricket in 20th-century Britain have formed the major rationale behind my own research.

  • Women's Cricket, Pioneers and Unsung Heroes
    Women’s Cricket, Pioneers and Unsung Heroes The important contribution made to women’s cricket by former students of Dartford College of Physical Education © The Ӧsterberg Collection Jane Claydon 2021 Unsung Heroes A great deal of publicity has been given to women’s cricket in the last decade and yet, some modern authors, in their histories of the game, have not included the names of many talented international cricketers with links to Dartford. Perhaps this is because the authors were not taught by members of staff trained at a Specialist College of Physical Education and are unaware of the heritage of Dartford, Bedford, Chelsea, Dunfermline and other later foundations. As a result, they have missed out on a rich history of women cricketers and administrators. I am sure Mary Duggan would be surprised to find that her lengthy and significant career is not highlighted in one recent publication. I have attempted to redress the balance and introduce the reader to many other players who trained at Dartford College. They may not be household names, but during their careers they influenced the development of the game for women and the outcome of many significant matches. Information about the history of women’s cricket is easy to find. Several books of interest have been published in the last half century. Perhaps, Nancy Joy’s Maiden Over, published in 1950, is overlooked by younger researchers, but it is a source of interesting details about the 1948/49 tour to Australia and New Zealand in which the author participated. The Cricket Archive can provide details of the performance of all England women cricketers, the WCA year books are available to view online and many of the players feature on the pages of Wikipedia.

After winning their first four matches by such dominant margins, being reduced to four wickets for three runs after five overs, and then to 9-5 by Nantwich bowlers Bethan Robinson and Kelsey Barker was perhaps not what they were expecting. Their remaining batsmen and their bowlers managed however to pull this one out of the bag – Becky Cripwell continued her fine form with both bat and ball.
