Pieces of the Nanaimo Boxing story


Every past member of the Newcastle and Nanaimo Boxing clubs
has their own story to tell, and when trying to tell the story of
each club, being the only member of both clubs is an interesting
but difficult task to attempt to measure the importance of both.
The only thing to say when all is said and done, they are both
important in their own way.  




This is not considered to be a complete history of boxing in Nanaimo  from 1963
to 1974, it is just the history that I experienced along the way.
