50th Anniversary of Modern Winks

The modern, competitive game of tiddlywinks originated in England in January 1955 when Bill Steen and R. C. Martin founded the Cambridge University Tiddlywinks Club (CUTwC).  Celebrations occur in Cambridge and elsewhere during January 2005. (More photos and articles to come.)

in 1958 represented Prince Philip
