Victorian Bournemouth (234) has summarised the articles published in the last quarter. These took community groups as an overall theme. It has shown how the groups differed according to their position within the Maslow hierarchy. In addition, it has observed how, while some groups attempted to perpetuate class and gender prejudice, others succeeded in bringing together all members of society. In some cases, therefore, the groups constituted jeux sans frontières.
Victorian Bournemouth (222) has examined the collective behaviour of the resort’s inhabitants.

Future articles will provide a more comprehensive understanding by analysing individual groups and associations.
Victorian Bournemouth (153) explores the early history of bicycles in the resort: manufacturers, dealers, clubs, consumers.
