Dear Alumni and Friends of OUABC, 

 

We sincerely thank you for your interest in supporting our club. OUABC would not be able to operate without the unwavering and generous support it receives from its alumni and supporters.

 

The Club relies on donations to invest in athletes at every level—whether they be complete beginners or members of our Blues Squad. Thanks to consistent alumni support, we maintain a strong progression rate from novice boxers to the Blues Squad. The 2025 OUABC Blues Squad, which triumphed at the Annual Varsity Match against Cambridge, was composed almost entirely of athletes who first joined the club as novices. This achievement reflects the high-quality coaching and facilities made possible by our supporters.

 

Over the next five years, OUABC is committed to achieving a number of goals that will require continued support. Our foremost priority remains the Annual Varsity match against Cambridge in March. We aim to build on last year’s success by strengthening our Blues Squad through expert coaching, a dedicated training camp, and enhanced sparring opportunities with clubs across the UK and abroad. We are also expanding our network of partner clubs internationally, enabling more of our athletes to represent OUABC at home and overseas. Additionally, we will continue to send representatives to the Annual BUCS Championships in January and to host our annual home show, Town v. Gown, in which many of our Blues Squad will compete.

 

Beyond the Blues Squad, a core commitment of OUABC is to maintain a safe, inclusive, and welcoming community for athletes of all levels. Your support directly advances this mission. It helps us improve accessibility by investing in equipment for new novice boxers and by subsidising membership fees for those in financial need.

 

By supporting OUABC, you are directly contributing to the development of our Blues Squad, as well as the building of an inclusive community in Oxford. We sincerely appreciate every donation.

 

Kind regards,

​

William Fahie

OUABC President
