This used to be my blog as a candidate, as an MP, now it's just me writing my own stuff as just me.

Work begins on a bigger boxing gym...
Humble beginnings for Avonmouth National Smelting Amateur Boxing Club's new extended gym.
Thanks to the hard work of coach Garry Gave (pictured, with me, delighted about the girders), Roger Eady, the club, and with support from myself, the club has won a bid for over £60k from Sport England to build a much needed extension gym.
You can just about see the present gym in the background. It's that green building that looks like a garden shed. Garry trains over 30 young boxers in there, with numbers swelling all the time.
With any luck, the gym should be open at the end of the year. This blog will attempt to follow the progress from girder to gym... watch this space!
