BOXING CLEVER
Ealing Boxing Club is just one of the many
clubs based in the community centre.
“Having a venue that’s easy to get to and
has specialist facilities has really helped
build up the club’s membership,” said
Gareth Frost, club manager.
“The centre’s managers have been great at
helping me get set up and use the facilities.
We have people of all ages coming along
to sessions; we even have a few parents
learning with their children. I am really
excited about the club’s future and welcome
anyone from the borough to come along
and join in.”
Ealing Boxing Club is held on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings between 7–8.30pm.
