The club opened in 2021 and has more than 225 members ranging in age from eight to over 60s.<\/p>\n
In a statement, chair of trustees Andrew Horncastle MBE said GABC “does not just aim to create champions in the ring, but champions in life”.<\/p>\n
“To continue doing the great work it does, GABC needs a permanent home,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Having the opportunity to buy both buildings is exactly what we need, but it is a huge financial undertaking.”<\/p>\n
Local farmer Richard Longthorp, who has the condition, regularly trains at the club.<\/p>\n
He said the club “does fantastic work for all of its members whatever their age”. <\/p>\n
“Everyone can benefit from boxing training, whether you simply want to get a bit fitter and lose a bit of weight, or you’ve set your sights on being the next Olympic champion,” he said.<\/p>\n
“There is already waiting list of people who want to train at the club and that will only get longer. <\/p>\n
“Without this expansion, they could miss out.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The club opened in 2021 and has more than 225 members ranging in age from eight to over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":631360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-631359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/631360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
