The original aim of the local boxing team was to provide a safe and stable environment for local children in the Camden Haven and surrounding areas where they could go to learn health, fitness, and boxing skills.

Since commencing at Kendall Showgrounds in September 2011 the team has grown from 4 kids aged from 11, to 40 plus participants up to 50 years old.

They have outgrown their current facilities and their aim now is to raise money to purchase and erect a community facility. The Kendall Show Society have offered to allow them to erect the facility on the Kendall Showgrounds.

They are currently applying for grants from Kendall Op Shop, Hastings Council and Sports and Recreation to assist with this project but will also need to hold their own fundraising activities.

The team has parents and friends available who can assist with the building and labour, but still require approximately $60,000.00 to complete the project.

If anyone has any suggestions or are able to support in anyway please contact Kerrie Eggins 0427599396, Mandy Barr 0418208253 or Mick Eggins 0407946282.

The Boxing team’s first fund raising effort was a Trivia Night held at Kendall Services & Citizens Club on March 24. Due to the wonderful support from local businesses the night was a great success and all the proceeds will go towards the purchase of the planned new training facility. The team extends its sincere thanks to all those businesses who supported them. The winner of the Rebel Sports Voucher raffle was Rob Green, ticket number red E71

Their next fundraising event will be a ‘Fight Night’ on April 28 at Kendall Services and Citizens Club which will give members the opportunity to practice the skills they have been learning over the past 8 months, and also raise money for the local training facility for the Camden Haven and surrounding community. This willbe a 7pm start and the cost will be $25 for over 18’s and $15 for U/18’s.

Boxers from Camden Haven Boxing Club INC and other NSW clubs will be participating on the night.
