BOURNEMOUTH EBA hold their annual reunion this Saturday (June 22) at Bournemouth Sports Club, Chapel Gate, Christchurch, from 1pm to 6pm. Everyone is welcome. Bournemouth is an Association that shows its support for today’s scene by presenting annual trophies to the area’s best amateurs. The presentations are made at the reunion, and this year’s winners are Jamie Dennis from Poole ABC and Macey Gardner (Arena ABC).
Member Peter Judge wrote to me about a special award to be made this year – to a “very courageous” young lady named Kate Farley. Kate, who’s 28, suffers from severe cerebral palsy. But, accompanied by her mother, she attends local boxing gyms five days a week and completes exercises on her knees – even in the ring.
