Dear Adelaide Club Member:
I hope you enjoy this month’s E-Bulletin, on line at www.adelaideclub.com. We have many exciting programs and events happening in the next few months as the Adelaide Club finishes the Winter season in full swing.
Thank you to everyone that made it out to Rumble at the Adelaide Club 2 on January 20th, 2012 .  The night was a big success, with 500+ in attendance to watch a night of entertaining boxing.  There were 11 fights in all.  The fighters were made up of Cambridge Group of Clubs’ Staff and Members with the exception of a few fighters coming from outside clubs.  The competitors were split into two teams, red corner and blue corner.  Each fighter trained with their team once a week since October 1st , 2011. 

The following is a list of the fight outcomes:

The boxing event footage will be released February 3rd, 2012 and can be seen on the Adelaide Club Facebook page, otherwise I will include a link in the February 6th, 2012 weekly enews.
