10th February 1990 The English national governing body (civil) of amateur 

Boxing, the Amateur Boxing Association of England [ABAE], sanctioned and adopted the British Police National Novice Boxing Championships. It should be noted that this was the first Championship facilitating specifically ‘Novice’ class boxers ever held under the jurisdiction of any of the UK’s NGB’s of Boxing 

23rd March 1990 The first British Police B.A. National Novice Championships held under the new formation were held in Walsall Town Hall, Walsall, West Midlands 

20th April 1990 The first ‘official’ British Police B.A. team was formed to participate in a match against the Royal Navy on the at the South Parade Pier, Southsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire 

16th February 1991 Although the British Police International Open Championship [also titled the European Police Boxing Championships] had taken place on an ad-hoc basis, for many years, on this date this was adopted by the England NGB [ABAE]. The first ‘official’ event being staged at the Elephant and Castle Leisure Centre, London in May 1993 

18th November 1992 On this date the new ABAE [now as a Limited Company] was formed as a result of which, the British Police B.A. came under the jurisdiction of the newly formed ‘Amateur Boxing Association of England Limited’ [ABAE Limited] 

1994 The British Police Amateur Boxing Association appointed its first National Coach in the person of Mike Gannon. BEM. [then a member of Hampshire Constabulary] Mike had just completed a full term in the British Army Physical Training Corps, the last twelve of which had been as the Warrant Officer and Chief Coach of the British Army Boxing Team. 

As a result of this appointment, the British Police Amateur Boxing Association was sanctioned by the ABAE to deliver all ABAE and PBA coaching courses 

1994 The British Police Amateur Boxing Association were sanctioned to stage officials’ courses [Judges, Referees, Supervisors etc] to members of the ABAE Limited including PBA 

28th February 1997 At a meeting of the Police Boxing Association Committee held at Durham Police Headquarters under the then Chairmanship of Bernard Hedges Chief Constable of Durham Police, it was agreed that the committee would withdraw from membership of the Police Athletic Association [now Police Sport UK] 

This was purely on the grounds that the British Police Boxing Association had formed a partnership with The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain [PCCGB]. In doing so, all police boxing clubs including Police Community Boxing Clubs were urged to engage with their respective communities and deliver the sport of boxing whilst providing Citizenship programmes which addressed local crime initiatives 

As all funding within the Police Athletic Association was specifically designated to Police Officers and staff, the Police Boxing Association could not continue to be in a position whereby they could receive central funding. Albeit, they did not request nor receive such funding, it was felt prudent that they relinquished its role within the Police Athletic Association. Once the British Police Boxing Association became an independent entity within the Police Service a decision was immediately taken to allow the affiliation of civilian boxers to its Service membership. [This subject to there being no alternative athlete / coach or official of similar ability already within the service]. This policy was also adopted by the Metropolitan Police within its Association Football and Amateur Boxing Clubs]Further, the British Police Boxing Association and the PCCGB were firmly of the opinion that the sport of boxing was the perfect vehicle to address wider issues beyond sport to engage with hard to reach communities. This policy remains to this day 

22nd May 1997 The ABAE Limited were informed of the ‘deformation’ from P.A.A. [PSUK] membership and its restructured make up 

12th July 1997 A meeting took place of representatives from all British Police Boxing Association clubs and the Police Community Clubs of Great Britain at the West Midlands Police Training Establishment, Tally-Ho, Birmingham. There was overwhelming support for the concept of an ‘alliance’ of police community boxing clubs with the emphasis being put on service to the community by volunteer police officers and civil staff through community boxing clubs 

Twelve clubs joined, all were from inner city areas throughout England including Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, Staffordshire, London, Bradford, Devonport and Birmingham. A decision was also made at this meeting which set the precedence that the Police Community Clubs of Great Britain would ‘underwrite’ all British Police Boxing Association business in cases of financial hardship, thereby further strengthening the partnership of both linked organisation 

19th July 1997 At an ABAE Limited Executive Meeting the new status of the British Police Boxing Association / Police Community Clubs of Great Britain was adopted by them 

27th August 1997 A new ‘joint’ British Police Boxing Association and Police Community Clubs of Great Britain committee was formed. The Chairman appointed was Commander Malcolm Campbell, QPM. Metropolitan Police, the Vice Chairman Assistant Chief Constable David Baker, QPM of West Midlands Police and the Patron was Sir James Anderton the then retired Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, thereby returning to the original committee he assisted in forming in 1979 

28th November 1997 The then Secretary of the Police Athletic Association Chief Constable Sir John Evans, requested that albeit, the Police Boxing Association was no longer a member of the Police Athletic Association [PSUK], it should be renamed in order to correctly reflect the activities of the newly constituted Association outside the P.A.A. \ PSUK structure. It was agreed that henceforth the Association would be called The Police and Community Boxing Association of England [PCBA] 

17th January 1998 At a meeting of the ABAE Limited – Executive Council, the Home Office and Civil Service were formally included within the Police Association. This instruction incorporated such organisations as the Prison Service some Fire Service athletes and other Home Office and Civil Service employees
