Bexhill A.B.C Description
Welcome to Bexhill Boxing Club - we are the town’s only club affiliated to the sport’s governing body - England Boxing.
Our England Boxing affiliation ensures that we offer the highest standards of coaching as all of our coaches hold England Boxing qualifications, are trained in first aid and safeguarding, and are DBS cleared.
The affiliation also provides us with the opportunity to work with, and compete against other affiliated clubs, and boxers from across the country, and gives those in the sport the opportunity to represent their county, or even country.
We offer a variety of training sessions to cater for a range of ages and abilities.
Children’s sessions (10 – 14 years) are held every Monday, and Wednesday from 18: 00 – 19: 00.
Our foundations / beginners sessions (for 14 years + ) are held every Tuesday, and Thursday from 19: 00 – 20: 30.
Competing / Invited boxer sessions are held every Monday, and Wednesday from 19: 00 – 21: 00.
Please be aware that all training sessions will involve elements of contact that will increase alongside the boxer’s capability.
Being a registered charity our aim is to provide our services from a team of volunteers at a rate accessible to all. For those under 16 each session costs £3, for those 16 and over £4.
Please contact one of the clubs coaches should you have any queries.

THURSDAYS nights are back ... if you’re new to the sport, or already come to our Tuesday session come along on a Thursday from 7pm until 8:30pm....
Please can our members / parents be encouraged to park on De la Warr parade (yellow) rather than in Sutton Place (red) as many local residents that have mobility issue use Sutton Place..
More work almost complete at the club ... there’s been internal work, and now the rear exterior is starting to shape up.... thank you to everyone that helped us secure funding towards the end of last year, and Phoenix Caprentry and Colossus Scaffolding for the help with this bit of work at the back... oh and not forgetting Terry Freeman, Ian Fletcher, Joe Belcher, Bradley Belcher, Josh Cato, and Nakibuk Khan all for pitching in with some free labour .. and me (Rian) for falling off a ladder 😬.. 🥊🥊
Work starts on the rear of the club today ... a massive thanks to Colossus Scaffolding for helping us out and getting the scaffold up @ the club at very short notice ... 🥊...❤️
It was HOT in the gym tonight .. 🥊
LICENCE APPLICATION UPDATE..
We are in the process of applying for an Alcohol licence at the boxing club which is not yet complete due to ongoing process and procedure..
We completely understand that there may be some concern regarding this, especially regarding the proposed licensing hours etc.
... To provide some clarification to local residents or anyone concerned we are by no means intending to have a bar that is constantly open. It is also worth noting that all we are applying for is a change of name as the premises has had a licence for the past 30 years..
We applied for these hours as it will give us the flexibility (if possible) to utilise the licence when necessary. For example - us along with many other boxing clubs operate as a family / friendly environment - we celebrate together at Christmas, at the end of our season, and occasionally for a members birthday. Having a bar enables us to do this in our ‘home location’ which is a huge benefit for us - many other clubs have to pay out to utilise a separate venue.. it will also be a useful small source of income for us as we are a charity organisation that is completely voluntary, and reliant on funding.
We’ve recently taken on the building and made many improvements inside, and also have some external work taking place on the week commencing 13/08.
Sadly due to the squash club declining over the years this building needed a lot of TLC, and we’ve prevented it from going into further decline. Another source of income, however small would be hugely beneficial for us as it would go towards the building and prevent it from becoming dilapidated on an ongoing basis..
We understand that there are concerns regarding parking in the area. However, we only operate on approx 4 weekday evenings, when the road is usually clear, and we also encourage people to park on the seafront.
If we do have an event, which is few and far between there may be additional vehicles but this would be minimal.. we have however noticed that many parents when picking up children from the school also use this area to park on occasion so it is often not our members.
We are providing an outlet for people in Bexhill and the surrounding area and have very positive feedback from those that attend, and their parents / guardians.. We would also be keen to work closely with the residents in the area.
If you would like to see what we do at the club, pop your head into any time when we’re open (currently just a Tuesday 7-8:30pm as we are in ‘close season’).. and we would be pleased to show you around (and maybe make you a tea - if we have any milk!)...
If you have any concerns, issues, or want to talk about anything at all going forwards (parking, litter, noise etc) please come in, or send an email to rian.witcomb@sky.com
Many thanks,
Bexhill Boxing Club.
