Boys Learn To Box

How to use the gloves and keep fit is the theme almost any night down in the railway social hall. Almost any night up to 40 members of the Gisborne Railway Boxing Gym can be found there, skipping, boxing and doing exercises.

The gym has a live committee which gives the boys expert tuition in what has always been known as the manly art. In addition to those pictured, instructors include Les Ensor and Jack Allen.
