Fen Skating - Bandy

Bandy

Bury Fen, near Bluntisham, was the home of the Bury Fen Bandy Club (unbeaten for a century). Under the captaincy of the Tebbutt brothers (grandsons of Potto Brown’s milling partner Joseph Goodman) the Bury Fen Bandy Club was responsible for formulating the rules of modern bandy and introducing the game into the Netherlands and other Northern European countries as well as other parts of Britain. England was victorious at the so far only European Championships. Bandy wasn't resumed in England after World War I. However, recently a national federation has been founded and in 2010 England entered the Federation of International Bandy and there are now plans for activity on the ice, to begin with in the form of rink bandy.
