Boxing Evening 16 February 2017

The Rotary Club of Gloucester Severn is planning the 2018 Charity Boxing Evening. You are invited to attend the event on Friday 16th February 2018 at Sir Thomas Rich’s School, Gloucester. This event has raised more than £205,000 over 30 years.

Our aim, as ever, is to provide a high-quality event that represents good value, whilst meeting the aim of raising funds for the charities supported by the Rotary Club. The dress is “black tie”, with an excellent dinner followed by the boxing. This will feature around eight bouts involving contestants from the West Country in association with Gloucester Amateur Boxing Club.

Our guest speaker for 2018 is John Stiles.

John Stiles, son of Nobby, is a well-known and versatile after dinner speaker. He was a professional footballer and his wide range of sporting humour will give us an entertaining break in the boxing

You have supported us in the past by taking a table or advertising in the programme and I hope that you will do so again. The Rotary Club of Gloucester Severn has several major fund-raising events each year in addition to our boxing night. The Dragon Boats event at Gloucester Docks is in May, followed by the Sporting Dinner at Kings School in July. These events have also raised a similar amount.

We make donations to local, national, and international charities which vary from year to year. In the last year we have donated over £40,000 to charities including Charlie's Cancer Support centre Gloucester, Maggie's Cheltenham, Aquabox, Shelterbox, Breast Cancer Now, Pancreatic Cancer UK, Kids Out event and various other charitable donations.

We have two main sponsors, Brunsdon Insurance Group and Keyway, who we thank for their continued support for this event.

Tickets for the event are now available. Please book your tickets as far in advance as possible.

If you wish to support us with sponsorship or advertising please contact me and I will arrange for Mr Ron Jones who once again will be coordinating sponsorship and advertising, to contact you.

The prices are as follows:

Tickets £52

Bout Sponsorship £100

Advertisements: £85 (full page), £55 (half page)

Table sizes can be adjusted to suit individual parties, however tables of 10 are the most usual arrangement.
