RINGSIDE REST AND CARE

The latest update from the RR & C team behind the care home venture

THIS weekend, at Abbey Road in London, approximately 20 former champions, including John Conteh and John H Stracey, will descend upon the historic recording studios to unleash some heavenly sounds as Never Give Up, Never Give In, the Ringside Rest and Care anthem set for general release next year, is recorded. “It should be a very interesting day, especially if you have heard some of them sing,” joked Ringside’s Paul Fairweather.

Many thanks to Tommy Dix from The Venure ABC in Birkenhead who raised a tremendous amount for the cause recently.

The limited edition Ringside Care Bears are now available at £11.99 each to go alongside the rest of the RR&C merchandise that has contributed so many funds to the cause this year.

Please contact Paul Fairweather (on 07752322248 or paulfair4@btinternet. com) to buy direct or visit Andy Brace’s ‘Worldwide Signings’ shop in Romford.

Everyone at Ringside Rest and Care would like to thank everyone involved in making it such a good year regarding generating funds. Many thousands have been raised as charity status was achieved and we’re well on our way to beating our target. But we still need your help to make the residential care home for ex-boxers in need a reality.

If anyone wants to help and make a donation, monthly or even just a one-off, please contact Karen Knight on 07766886580 or email kazzie29@ hotmail.co.uk.

Finally, and not for the first (or last) time, we appeal to promoters to step forward and be a part of our cause. We look forward to hearing from you.

To others in the sport, we thank you again for being so generous in 2019.
