Geschiedenis
The Cambridge and Bethnal Green Boys' Club started in 1924 as the Jewish Boys Club. It was founded by a group of Cambridge University graduates with the aim of helping underprivileged youngsters. The group was initially led by Joe and Harry Wolfe, Justin Richardson and Stuart Esinger. In 1938 the club became inter denominational and in 1955 changed its name to the New Cambridge Boy's Club, it continued to run until 1989. The club organised various athletic and cultural activities for the boys including football, swimming, dramatics and camping. Max Lea was a member and manager of the Club for 48 years, as well as serving as Club Registrar and Club Treasurer. He continues to be the Secretary and Treasurer of the Cambridge Reunion Committee and was awarded an MBE in 2000 for his services to youth work and amateur football.
