  Hi everyone,

  We have set up a charity in England with ex world champion boxer Johnny Nelson who now co-hosts ringside on Sky sports . We are thinking of holding a boot camp event as a fund raiser for the charity. As we have a house in Corfu we thought that a boot camp in Corfu around September , October perhaps using a hotel with facilities such as a pool and gym might work well. If anyone thinks they could be of help or offer positive advice I would be grateful. This is a tentative idea at the momment but I would love to do something in Corfu please take a look at our website : www.jnspcharity.org

  Hi Margaret, have just seen your comment on the boxing boot camps...what a great idea! It sounds good but I think it might be a bit of a nightmare where licenses might be required and other bureaucracy before it can take place. I would look into that before you make any plans as it can be very difficult to get things sorted..as you probably know owning a house here. We used to run an entertainment business here in the summer, but if we did a charity event free we had to issue a tax receipt and pay vat as if we had been paid for the event. I don't know if the rules have changed but its best to find out first. Perhaps you could contact the boxing club in Corfu (I think its near to the airport but not certain). I do hope you can get it arranged as it sounds like a very good event for Corfu.All the best wish it, Janet
