The Rotary Club of Huntingdon Cromwell hosted the annual Boxing Night event in collaboration with the Campol Boxing Club in memory of Mick Taylor.

The Boxing Night is held on the last Friday of January every year and the Rotary Club has supported the event for over 30 years now.

The 2024 Boxing Night was a particularly special night as it was held in memory of Mick Taylor.

Mick was a Cambridgeshire Police officer who set up the Campol Boxing Club in 1972.

At the event, the Rotary Club of Huntingdon Cromwell presented the Campol Boxing Club with a cheque for £1,000. 

It's estimated that over £3,000 was raised on the night.

All of that money will go to a variety of charities across Huntingdonshire.

Many guests attended the night including Mick Taylor's widow, Christine, and past President of the Rotary Club of Huntingdon Cromwell, Geoff Richardson. 

Other faces at the event include Jonathan Djanogly, who is the MP for Huntingdon.
