Dr Sophie Cook to speak at July’s Boundary Club

Established in 2011, The Boundary Club is Sussex Cricket’s premium business networking and membership club, where business meets cricket, hosted right on the boundary’s edge of the 1st Central County Ground in Hove.

The Boundary Club aims to bring like-minded Sussex and South-east based businesses together nine times a year, with most events hosted against a backdrop of first-class cricket.

The guest speaker for July is Dr Sophie Cook. 

Sophie became the first transgender woman to work in football’s premier league as club photographer for AFC Bournemouth following her transition from Steve to Sophie. 

But despite all her achievements, she lived in fear. Fear of failure, of being sad or happy, of being outed or loved. Now, Sophie shares her journey through her fascinating autobiography ‘Not Today: How I Chose Life’, helping others struggling with their mental health and identity. 

She is recognised with the 2020 British LGBT Awards’ Outstanding Contribution to LGBT+ Life Award, a Doctor of Letters honoris causa and named the 13th Most Influential Person in Brighton for 2019, 

July’s Boundary Club event will be taking place on Wednesday 12th July with day three of the championship game against Derbyshire taking place.

Look for a special article in next month’s SBT- ‘Behind the scenes at Boundary’, as we catch up with the Head Chef to talk about how he has taken the food to another level in the world of networking.
