Bloomer & Beyond

This event was held as part of the Derby City Partnership Week, a celebration of ten years of the DCP, and consisted of exhibitions, videos and memorabilia held at Pride
Park Stadium.

The idea for the event came from a discussion between Andy Smith and Olwen Davies
of the DCP where the desire for an event to celebrate the success of Pride Park was agreed and Andy then approached the Club to see what could be arranged.

Originally due to be called "1946 and all that", the name was changed to incorporate the legend that is Steve Bloomer and the name "Bloomer & Beyond" was born.

Jim Fearn, Derby County's Head of Community Affairs, took on the organisation of the
free event which was held on Thursday 30 June 2005 and afterwards hailed a great success.
