There is archaeological evidence of settlement in the area in the Bronze Age and in Roman Britain; under Viking rule, Cambridge became an important trading centre. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although city status was not conferred until 1951.
Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technologySilicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies spun out of the university. Over 40% of the workforce have a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. Cambridge is also home to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, soon to be home to AstraZeneca, a hotel and relocated Papworth Hospital.
Cambridge F.C. is a football (soccer) club in Cambridge, New Zealand. They are the 2015 champions of the WaiBOP Premiership, run by the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Football Federation.
Cambridge has eight senior men's teams and three women's teams competing in the Bay of Plenty and Waikato regions. Men's teams play in the WaiBOP Premiership (formerly Federation One) and WaiBOP Championship (formerly Federation Two), the Waikato A, B (2), C, and D (2) divisions and a Sunday league team known as the Red Devils. The women's teams play in the Waikato A, B and C divisions. The club also fields boys' and girls' youth teams and has about 430 junior team players (under 16).
Club history
The club was founded in 1948 and has played at John Kerkhof Park, Cambridge, New Zealand, since 1967. The teams play in red and white, a legacy of the club's first president Vic Butler's support of Arsenal F.C..
Playing record
The club achieved its first significant success at senior level, winning the Northern League’s 4th Division in 1979 and again in 1986. In 1989, it won the Northern League 3rd division title.
Cambridge (2011 population 126,748) is a city located in Southern Ontario at the confluence of the Grand and Speed rivers in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It is an amalgamation of the City of Galt, the towns of Preston and Hespeler, and the hamlet of Blair.
Galt covers the largest portion of Cambridge, making up the southern half of the city. Preston and Blair are located on the western side of the city, while Hespeler is in the most northeasterly section of Cambridge.
History
History of the City of Cambridge
Cambridge began as a composite city in 1973, when the City of Galt, Towns of Preston and Hespeler, and the hamlet of Blair were amalgamated.
There was considerable resistance among the local population to this "shotgun marriage" arranged by the provincial government and a healthy sense of rivalry had always governed relations among the three communities. Even today, though many residents will tell the outside world that they call Cambridge home, they will often identify themselves to each other as citizens of Galt or Preston or Hespeler. Each unique centre has its own history that is well documented in the Cambridge City Archives.

1820 and the start of the “Great South African Historical Debate” by Mike Kenyon
Introduction
It is just over 200 years since the 1820 settlers from the United Kingdom arrived in the Cape Colony, and were settled mainly on the eastern frontier. While some of their descendants may want to celebrate the anniversary, the legacy is very different for many people and a sober reflection on the consequences of the wave of immigration may be in order. This interesting talk highlights some of the background to, and consequences of, the arrival of the 1820 settlers.
The speaker, Mike Kenyon, has worked on land and rural issues mainly in the Eastern Cape for more than 30 years, in both the NGO and public sectors, most recently for the National Treasury. He holds a Masters degree in History from the University of Fort Hare on the economic history of the Eastern Cape to around ...

Introduction
It is just over 200 years since the 1820 settlers from the United Kingdom arrived in the Cape Colony, and were settled mainly on the eastern frontier. While some of their descendants may want to celebrate the anniversary, the legacy is very different for many people and a sober reflection on the consequences of the wave of immigration may be in order. This interesting talk highlights some of the background to, and consequences of, the arrival of the 1820 settlers.
The speaker, Mike Kenyon, has worked on land and rural issues mainly in the Eastern Cape for more than 30 years, in both the NGO and public sectors, most recently for the National Treasury. He holds a Masters degree in History from the University of Fort Hare on the economic history of the Eastern Cape to around 1800.
The talk was presented in this manner as an interim means of continuing with the monthly talks organised by the Border Historical Society of East London, South Africa - which have been put on a temporary hold as a consequence of the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020. Contents:
The contents of the talk are summarised below:
Characters
The impact of the industrial revolution
Conflict over land and labour
Moodie and the Khoisan
Moodie and the Zuurveld
Conclusion
Sources
Quotations:
The talk is prefaced by three interesting quotations;
“An English observer noted in the second decade of the seventeenth century that the Egyptian spice trade ‘is now discontinued by the Portuguese, English and Dutch who bring home such wares by the back side of Africa, so that the traffic of Alexandria is almost decayed’.” (Mather 2009: 197)
“What began as a cabbage patch on the way to India became the most vital strategic point, with the possible exception of Malacca, in the entire empire of the Dutch East India Company.” (De Kiewiet 1957: 4)
“The refreshment station started operating remarkably quickly, owing to the energy and ability of Van Riebeeck, who was trying to reinstate himself in his first VOC post since his dismissal in 1648 for private trading.” (Katzen 1969: 189) Sources:

John Cook, Vice-Chair of the Hetton Colliery Railway 200 Group
Lecture Synopsis:
To mark the 200th anniversary of Hetton Colliery, this talk will mark its contribution to the birth of early railways.
The talk will show the build-up of the area and the collieries and take a tour of the railway from Elemore Colliery to Sunderland Staiths.
John along with like-minded colleagues feel that the Hetton Colliery Railway must have more recognition, both nationally and internationally, as it was a major contributor to the birth of early railways in this country and eventually the whole world.
Speaker Biography:
John is the vice-chair of the Hetton Colliery Railway 200 Group. He joined Durham County Council in 1970, later becoming an Electrical Design Engineer. He carried out the design of electrical installations for most types of D.C.C. buildings and eventually became part of the Energy Management Unit, which helped save millions of pounds in energy costs. He was a member of the Durham County Council Environmental Awards Scheme and finally retired in 2010.
He enjoys railway modelling and has an exhibition layout called Kepier Colliery, based loosely on the Hetton Colliery Railway which has been displayed all over the country, including at Neville Hall. As a child the Hetton Lyons Colliery and its railway was his playground (no health and safety in those days) and it fostered his life-long interest in industrial railways. John has always been interested in local history especially the Hetton – Easington Lane – Houghton areas. This includes the mining and railway history of this and other areas of County Durham and Northumberland.

Introduction
It is just over 200 years since the 1820 settlers from the United Kingdom arrived in the Cape Colony, and were settled mainly on the eastern frontier. While some of their descendants may want to celebrate the anniversary, the legacy is very different for many people and a sober reflection on the consequences of the wave of immigration may be in order. This interesting talk highlights some of the background to, and consequences of, the arrival of the 1820 settlers.
The speaker, Mike Kenyon, has worked on land and rural issues mainly in the Eastern Cape for more than 30 years, in both the NGO and public sectors, most recently for the National Treasury. He holds a Masters degree in History from the University of Fort Hare on the economic history of the Eastern Cape to around 1800.
The talk was presented in this manner as an interim means of continuing with the monthly talks organised by the Border Historical Society of East London, South Africa - which have been put on a temporary hold as a consequence of the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020. Contents:
The contents of the talk are summarised below:

The impact of the industrial revolution
Conflict over land and labour

Quotations:
The talk is prefaced by three interesting quotations;
“An English observer noted in the second decade of the seventeenth century that the Egyptian spice trade ‘is now discontinued by the Portuguese, English and Dutch who bring home such wares by the back side of Africa, so that the traffic of Alexandria is almost decayed’.” (Mather 2009: 197)
“What began as a cabbage patch on the way to India became the most vital strategic point, with the possible exception of Malacca, in the entire empire of the Dutch East India Company.” (De Kiewiet 1957: 4)
“The refreshment station started operating remarkably quickly, owing to the energy and ability of Van Riebeeck, who was trying to reinstate himself in his first VOC post since his dismissal in 1648 for private trading.” (Katzen 1969: 189) Sources:

UNSW Physics Outreach Unit presents "Public Talks" with Dr Vincent Smith and his presentation entitled Einstein's Revolution in Physics.
Summary:
In 1905, Albert Einstein produced a revolutionary series of papers which made fundamental changes to our understanding of Physics. His explanations of Brownian Motion, the Photoelectric Effect and the invariant value of the speed of light established the existence of molecules and light quanta, and introduced the Special Theory of Relativity.
The speaker will explain Einstein's work in a simple and non-mathematical manner, placing it within its historical context.

John Cook, Vice-Chair of the Hetton Colliery Railway 200 Group
Lecture Synopsis:
To mark the 200th anniversary of Hetton Colliery, this talk will mark its contribution to the birth of early railways.
The talk will show the build-up of the area and the collieries and take a tour of the railway from Elemore Colliery to Sunderland Staiths.
John along with like-minded colleagues feel that the Hetton Colliery Railway must have more recognition, both nationally and internationally, as it was a major contributor to the birth of early railways in this country and eventually the whole world.
Speaker Biography:
John is the vice-chair of the Hetton Colliery Railway 200 Group. He joined Durham County Council in 1970, later becoming an Electrical Design Engineer. He carried out the design of electrical installations for most types of D.C.C. buildings and eventually became part of the Energy Management Unit, which helped save millions of pounds in energy costs. He was a member of the Durham County Council Environmental Awards Scheme and finally retired in 2010.
He enjoys railway modelling and has an exhibition layout called Kepier Colliery, based loosely on the Hetton Colliery Railway which has been displayed all over the country, including at Neville Hall. As a child the Hetton Lyons Colliery and its railway was his playground (no health and safety in those days) and it fostered his life-long interest in industrial railways. John has always been interested in local history especially the Hetton – Easington Lane – Houghton areas. This includes the mining and railway history of this and other areas of County Durham and Northumberland.
