The Teignmouth Boxing Club’s new headquarters at the old Lyceum Cinema, Somerset Place, will probably be opened by Henry Cooper, former British and Empire and European champion, as revealed by the Club chairman, Mr Fred Tooley. He had come to ask the Chamber of Commerce for aid in raising £1,500 to complete the restoration. In 15 months, the Club had raised £2,000 by his own fundraising system. The members had put in 3,500 manual working hours, equivalent to completing seven bungalows if they had been working for a building contractor.
