It was a central place in her family’s leisure time just as it was for many local people and their children. She acquired a life-long club going habit from a very young age and as an adult became increasingly curious not only about the club across the street but the thousands of others across the UK. With her trained sociologist's eye and interest in social history, she set out to document how clubs came about in the first place in the middle of the 19th century and what they still mean for their many members 150 years later in the 21st century. Her belief in the social, cultural and community roles that clubs have played across the years, witnessed through her own experiences, has added depth and insight to this work. Ruth Cherrington is a scholar as well as a club enthusiastic and campaigner and this combination has placed her in a good position to tell the club story. Ruth never lost the club-going habit and is still partial to a game of bingo!visualizza meno
