On Tuesday 10 October 2023 Claire Martinsen spoke to the Mill Road History Society about the Gray family – five Cambridge born brothers who achieved world renowned status in the sport of racquets. Indeed it is said ‘there is no record of any family obtaining such a high standard in one sport as that of the Gray family’. Three of the siblings were world racquets champions, and eldest brother Henry founded the eponymous sports company, still in business today. How the brothers did it promises to make an interesting evening, full of Cambridge sporting history.
