The club has over 40 members including 12 women, with boxers
ranging in age from 10 to 30. Sessions run five evenings per
week for beginners and elite boxers, with the club also delivering
a after boxing club at Preston and Stanchester schools for
young people who have behavioural issues.
South Somerset District Council awarded a grant of £2,850 at
their Area South Committee on 2nd March 2011.
The funding will go towards upgrading its changing facilities
and shower area to ensure that the club has facilities for both
male and female boxers as they would like to continue to grow the
membership, especially for females following a number of
enquiries.
Purchase of new equipment such as head guards, boxing gloves and
punch bags will enable the club to accommodate a number of people
on its membership waiting list and the grant will allow it to
increase its capacity to cater for 70 members.
