1st year anniversary!

Can you belive we have been at the new gym 1 year on 1st April! It's been a great 1st year in Selby, seeing kids and adults week in week out in the gym.
It has been a lot of hard work this last year getting the gym open and ready and then still trying to improve it more and more! Great news is the new changing rooms and office are nearly complete we just need a ceiling in the office, the girls and the part in between and we are few tiles short in the lads! IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE CALL US WOULD BE NICE TO FINISH BY THE END OF OUR 1ST YEAR!!!!
This 1st year has seen us build good realasionships with local press, police, schools, colleges as well as some local businesses. We have been working with groups such as REOTAS and Social services too! The gym has made a big impact on the local community in the last year and the good news is we have just renewed the lease for a futher 2 years!!!
We have seen many lads compete this season and there a few more shows coming up before the season ends on 31st May. We have even produced a Yorkshire Champion aged just 11 this year! Jamie came to us when we opened in April and has trained so hard the last year as well as other juniors like Gareth Hilton who boxed on Friday night after a days notice! It was one of the best bouts I have seen in Yorkshire this season with the decision unfortuantly going to the other kid from Bradford but as a gym the bout made a huge impression for our gym that night!
We couldnt possibly put all on what has happened this year but it has been better than we all ever could expect and it can only go forward more and more with so many boxers now coming up to a standard where they are ready to compete. We are looking for new and more sponsorship for the gym as it helps us help the community by keeping it open so if you can help in any way please contact us. Dont forget out 1st annual awards on May 17th, if you would like to come visit us there then please let us know asap!!!
