Actually we take over all of the club, its dinning room, its exhibition
room, its stage , its kitchen (well we have to eat !) its car park (lot)
is covered with trade stalls for equipment, hand made boxers equipment,
compasses, inks, cutting stuff, posting cards, stamps..hand knitted raw
woolly hats (eh!) ..you name it...Even the air rescue helicopter team turn
up !

>Thanks for posting these...they were fun on a Monday morning!

Many thanks..it's even more fun on the weekend of The Meet...You can
hardly move for mad boxers.

Princetown is a tiny village with one (big) employer..A Government
"hotel"..We boxers boost the town population by about 500% ! for two days
a year (madness).

It is a crazy place...Can't think why I go , being a solitary and
secretive boxer that I am !
