THE current Brighton EBA newsletter reports that several members attended Hastings’ monthly meeting on April 28 and had a great time. Reciprocating, Hastings Chairman Dave Harris made it to Brighton’s May meeting, and Brighton’s Lifetime Vice-President (and former undisputed world middleweight champion) Alan Minter presented Dave with a painting of himself and all his championship belts, to be auctioned in aid of the Ringside Rest and Care Home, which Dave of course is pioneering.
Dave also instigated the British Ex-Boxers’ Hall of Fame. This year’s Annual Awards Lunch will be hosted by Essex EBA, and Wales will host the 2020 event – but Dave’s already looking for a host for 2021. I urge all EBA committees to think about this. If you’re interested, contact Dave on 07947 084 018.
