History of Sport at UoR

This commemorative short run booklet, about the history of sport at the University of Reading between 1892–2018 was commissioned by UoR SportsPark. Overlooked by the Director of Sport, the booklet was be written by a retired professor of English at UoR based on the research conducted by a retired UoR Historian. The goal is to hand out the booklet to anyone who attends the launch of the new active campus strategy during the second induction to the sporting hall of fame in the summer of 2020; at which there will also be three celebrity ex-athletes in attendance. It communicates the University of Reading’s rich sporting history with incredible sporting success and helps encourage and promote the improvement of health of the young, as well as academics, through sport.
