Dyffryn Amateur Boxing Club, Colwyn Bay are organising a sponsored walk up Snowdon on Saturday 4th August, 2018 in the hope of raising some much needed funds. This will enable the club to purchase some new equipment and cover the costs of participating in events and the ever increasing travelling costs. Members of the club plan to walk up Snowdon – the highest mountain in England and Wales and conquer this 3559 feet giant and a distance of 9 miles, with some as young as 5 this will be no easy feat.

Dyffryn Amateur Boxing Club has been established since 1965 – during those 53 years it has achieved so much. In the last ten years they have had over 40 Welsh Champions, a GB Champion, a European Gold Medallist and most recently Billy Edwards who competed in this year’s Common Wealth Games on the Gold Coast.

The club is a not for profit organisation that receives no grant funding and relies solely on the contribution made by its members. The club is run by experienced, passionate coaches who work hard and continuously give up their time on a voluntary basis to share their love of the sport along with their desire for the boys and girls to be taught in a safe and secure environment, with discipline and dedication. They not only train the youngsters but also take them every weekend throughout the season to competitions all over the country. Being based in Colwyn Bay, North Wales they are required to travel far and wide and it is not uncommon to find them driving up and down to South Wales most weekends.
