our local champion dave earle, whom have devoted much of his life to helping others. wether it's teaching boxing or supporting people with mental health issues. dave have recently been awarded an MBE for outstanding contribution to banbury and surrounding communities. sadly those he helped have also returned not to thank him but to steal from him. with little reserve monies left it is difficult to see how he can keep the gym and continue to pay for his rent and other important bills. we need to help our friends and spit 'n' sawdust to overcome this terrible time, with no classes and no money coming in and being responsible for a full repairing lease, the future looks bad. the immediate priority is to get the old & broken roof replaced and the showers fixed. let's get together and help.
