Fundraising

Newquay Amateur Boxing Club is indebted to two local businessmen who have both donated £5,000 and put the boxing club on the right road as income is only available by staging boxing tournaments primarily as it costs in the region of £1,500 simply to put a tournament on!

There are three types of tournaments:

• Open Shows - usually taking place at the Newquay Sports Centre
• Dinner Boxing Shows - boxing + dinner + auction
• Championships - held annualy at all levels of boxing

The club will soon be launching its "Buy a Brick" fundraising where each ticket for a brick costs £1 and the purchaser will be recorded in a special book.

All proceeds will be going towards a new/permanent venue for Newquay Amateur Boxing Club. The New Build will not only be a state of the art premises for boxing training, but will be the centre of excellence for boxing in Cornwall and will also be available for hire to many other user groups, for either physical training and/or simply for meeting room purposes.

• Land donated by Cornwall Council on 50 years lease on site of previous "Tobbogan Run" in Trenance Park, Newquay.
• Planning permission granted by Cornwall Council.
• Newquay Town Council grant £20,000 towards the build.
