We are a very friendly, busy East London Boxing club who welcome all newcomers. We have 30 boys that are medical carded and 30 in our nursey.
We always have 4-5 trainers training the boys in each session.
The History of Newham Boys Club.
Newham boys club was founded in 1981, in a little hall beside the East London Rugby Club, Memorial Avenue, next to West Ham train station.
The founder members of the club were MR RON CHAPMAN AND MR BOB GALLOWAY and started of with a handful of boys and a trainer, Joe Chapman. They worked very hard over the next few years with the boys, and in five years we had our first couple of national schoolboy champions of England.
We was at the hall for 8 years and then, moved to our present building which is called the Old Bath House in Church Street, Stratford, London, E15 where the 2012 Olympics will be held.
We have been at these premises now for 17 years, and from our very humble beginnings to our present day at the club, we have developed a very active Committee who help with the daily running of the club.
We now have three trainers for our nursery, who are Danny Lambert, Bernie Miller and Johnny Vaughn, three trainers for our juniors; Jimmy Lavey, Tommy Giles, Bradley Sponge, and we also have two seniors' trainers called Gary Steadman and Mathew Batty. Over our twenty five year period we have had, twenty five national schoolboy champions, nine N.A.B.C champions, and six, four nation's champions who have achieved two gold medals, three silver medals and one bronze medal for England.
Also we have had two junior A.B.A champions and twenty five boys picked from our club over the years to represent England at home and abroad.
Over sixty boys now attend the club, and thirty boys are out on bouts. The dedicated Committee and trainers have built the club into a very friendly and successful club and hope to produce more national champions in the future.
