1. London Boxing Meeting – Sunday 6th November 2016

2. Purpose of Meeting
Information only meeting, to explain the ‘Interim’ London Boxing structure, roles to be filled and process for applying and voting
Answer any questions regarding the planned structure

3. Background (1)
At the last London AGM, members were asked to vote on whether to remain or leave England Boxing
London ABA took the decision not to affiliate with England Boxing, formed the Amateur Boxing Alliance, leaving no administration in place to manage London as a region
From within the clubs that voted to remain with England Boxing, a short term structure was put in place. England Boxing requested assistance from Brian John and Terri Kelly, plus Richard Powers and myself to manage the transition

4. Background (2)
‘Short term’ administration was put in place to safeguard the structure for boxers, coaches, officials, and allow for clubs to affiliate. Also to allow for championships and club shows to take place as normal
Additionally, the ‘short term’ administration keeps boxing going as normal, until a more permanent structure is voted on and put in place
New online registration process, via the Vault, was introduced

5. Why an ‘Interim’ Structure and not a permanent one now? (1)
England Boxing are in the process of ‘standardising’ all the regions nationwide.
This will not be ready to be put in place until Summer 2017, hence, an ‘Interim’ structure, to be in place until the London Boxing AGM in July 2017
London Boxing can be the pilot, and hopefully, the blueprint for all other regions to emulate, so we need to get this structure right

6. Why an ‘Interim’ Structure and not a permanent one now? (2)
Between now and next summer, work is taking place behind the scenes

7. How roles will be advertised
