CHILDREN in Bristol who are part of a kickboxing
squad will this year (2015) benefit from sponsorship from our dealership on
Pennywell Road.
The dealership has supported Cobra Kickboxing for
the past few years and will continue to help the club throughout 2015.
Terry Thurgood, our General Manager, explained: “We've
helped the gym in the past with new flooring and have also contributed towards
the children's gloves, head guards and transportation needs. We're delighted we
can continue to support them.
“Cobra
Kickboxing teaches around 90 children a week from Bristol and the surrounding
area. The classes teach youngsters endurance, strength, coordination and agility
and gives them a hobby that also keeps them fit.
“As
well as continuing to support the squad we'll also carry on sponsoring
eight-year-old Tiah Ayton. She has won a number of titles including an area title, two English titles
and a European belt. Tiah is a talented kick boxer and we're thrilled to be helping
her sporting career by giving her a helping hand with her equipment.
“We also provide Cobra Kickboxing with transport for tournaments and recently gave
the club a car to use so they could take three of its kick boxers to compete
for European belts in France."
Tiah travelled to France along with 11-year-old, Harvey
Mitchell and seven-year-old, Hollie-Rose Haskins both from Bristol.
Neil
Walker, Owner of Cobra Kickboxing in Kingswood, explained: “We would like to
say a huge 'thank you' to Wessex Garages for its continued support. It is very much
appreciated.
“Gloves,
guards and travelling to competitions can be very expensive so their
sponsorship is vital for the children. Our next big event we're getting ready
for is the IFKA team event in Newcastle on April 11. Without Wessex Garages
support we would be unable to attend events like this."
