Halstead Amateur Boxing Club have said a big thank you to Dr Alan Symington for being their club doctor for the last 40 years.
Dr Symington’s role has come to an end due to new rules that state that club medicals can now only be carried out by an England Boxing-registered official doctor.
Head coach George Cook said: “Myself, the boxers, coaches and committee members will miss Alan dearly and his friendly and pleasant demeanour.
“Alan has worked tirelessly during his time at the club and has been a pleasure to work with.
“The club has lost a committed, devoted member and we wish him all the very best for the future.”
