Training sessions are Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7 to 8.30pm and session fees will remain as last year at �1 for juniors and �2 for seniors.

There will be no membership fee for any newcomers who join before April and no annual subscription this year for current members.

The club provides two well-known trainers from Norwich, father and son team Martin and Marty, who have a wealth of experience and together with the other committee members and helpers are able to provide valuable one-to-one tuition.

Also this season the club will be bringing over from the Dereham gym experienced boxers for friendly in-club sparring sessions on a regular basis to provide the experience of mock bouts which is very valuable for lads who are competition boxing.

Boxers new or old, male or female, are welcome - and if anyone needs any further information they can contact club president Richard Sturman on 07887 520131.
