Gifted amateurs who pursue a hobby to a professional standard are

29 November 2004

are emerging as an important new social group whose skills could be in
great demand in the future, a report to be published tomorrow says.
"Pro-Ams" - amateurs who pursue a hobby or pastime to a professional
standard - are "a new social hybrid who force us to rethink the way we
think about work and leisure time", according to the report from the
independent think-tank Demos.
