Nanaimo Boxing Club

[CFH]

God I hate the Leafs. They're doing the right thing by rebuilding though, I wish the Canucks would do the same thing. They're going to continue to be mired in mediocrity though.

I use the juice from those leaves on my pancakes with extra vanilla ice cream

so am I in or what

I just need to teach you the secret Canadian handshake and everything will be official.

With the recent victory by Nanaimo boxer Stefan Melideo
in National competition, it adds a new chapter to the history of the Nanaimo Boxing Club.

But, I wonder how many of the Nanaimo Boxing Club ex-members are aware of
this new chapter in the never ending story of the club from 1971 to 2009
with the performance of Melideo.

Then again, I wonder if Stefan and his club mates are aware of
the complete history of the boxing club from the beginnings in 1971
and connections to theold Newcastle Boxing Club and its
days of glory from 1963 to 1968.

The song never ends, but the singers change, and the music plays on!

zzNANAIMO BOXING CLUB - 1971 to 2011: by brian zelley

There is now a new group site called NANAIMO BOXING HISTORY on Facebook.
The objective is to touch on all boxing history in Nanaimo including the Newcastle Boxing Club of 1963 to 1968.

FORTY YEARS and STILL STANDING

The official start date of the Nanaimo Boxing Club is September 1971. but the doors to the first facility took place in August '71.
No official anniversary or reunion has been planned, but if not, folks can celebrate the birth of the club in their own way or pass it by.
