This year we have made good progress. We have been holding events of our own such as the Sponsored Walk and an event at the former Bendigo Public House in Nottingham.
Local and national boxing promoters have also invited us along to their shows. It is pleasing that many people in the boxing world know already knew about Bendigo’s importance to the sport.
We have also done presentations to various local history groups who are always interested in our campaign, aswell as speaking to teachers with a view to prepare a teaching pack so that schools can tell the story of Bendigo to future generations.
We have also been developing a Heritage Trail so that future visitors to Nottingham will be able to discover the Bendigo story.
The Heritage Trail will be titled Ten Bells For Bendigo, in recognition of the boxing custom of ringing the bell ten times when the sport mourns the passing of someone.
Ten Bells For Bendigo will focus on ten locations that are important to the Bendigo story.
We will publish more about this in the near future.
Thanks for your continued support and get in touch if you want to hold an event.
