WELL DONE PETERBOROUGH BOXING CLUB 

The Police Clubs GB are delighted that the work carried out on a daily basis by Peterborough Police Boxing Club has been recognised by the Cambridgeshire Police & Crime Commissioner. 
 
The Police Clubs CEO Barry Jones also wishes to acknowledge this prestigious award and in particular the extraordinary commitment made by Chris and Vicki Baker who commit so much time to the club in spite of their demanding roles as serving police officers. 
 
Chris and Vicki are to lead the team of 30+ boxers, coaches and chaperones who will be travelling to Los Angelese in California USA to participate in the US Police Athletic League Championships between 27th September and he 6th October, we wish them all every success in the event. 
 
The Police Club’s Boxing Team Return from Los Angeles, California!  
September – October 2024 saw the return of the Police Community Club’s boxing teams annual trip to USA. 
 
Guests of the Police Clubs sister organisation The National Police Activities League [USA National PAL] their hosts made sure that they enjoyed every minute of the experience. 
 
The USA National PAL consists of over 2500 separate Police Community Clubs across the USA. All are directly administered by police officers / retired officers. 
The vast number of these clubs have Olympic Boxing as an integral nationally registered [USA Boxing] boxing clubs. 
 
The ‘Police Clubs GB’ founder Barry Jones MBE together with four other police officers, replicated the USA Police Clubs [PAL] hence, their close association with each other which sees both police organisations on each side of the Atlantic collaborating in many and numerous events which include many involving Olympic Boxing. 
THE HISTORY OF THE EVENT 
 
The USA PAL Boxing Championships have been held for many years, which only except USA Boxers to participate in the event as winners are given a ‘walk over’ into the quarter final stages of the USA Boxing’s - Golden Gloves Championships [the equivalent 
to England Boxing’s Senior Elite Championships]. 
 
In recent years, the USA National PAL with the blessing of USA Boxing has followed the Police Community Clubs of GB lead [by introducing a Novice to Elite Championship ] which as the PAL slogan says is, “ Showcasing on a National Stage - Today's and Tomorrow’s Champions”. 
 
The fundamental change which this year took place was the inclusion of ‘invited’ teams from Police Community Clubs from across the world. The British Section were delighted to have been the first to be invited to the inaugural event. 
 
This event will now be staged annually and any boxing club members of the Police Clubs GB should contact the Police Clubs Membership & Services manager Mike Robinson at admin@policecc.org to express an interest in providing boxers for this and other Police Clubs boxing events throughout 2024 – 2025. 
 
REPORT ON THE EVENT 
 
A party of 40 consisting of a Team Manager, Coaches, Referee / judges, Chaperones and a Child Protection Lead travelled to Los Angeles USA where they were met and greeted by USA PAL police officers & staff. All accommodation, travel, meals and excursions were provided up to and including transportation to the departure airport. 
 
Where requested, boxers and coaches were introduced to various well-established gymnasiums who made everyone welcome and provided pre-tournament sparring and all their facilities. 
 
Some 25 Boxers subsequently competed in the event. There were no stoppages, injuries or other matters that caused concern.
