Who’ll land a knockout blow in the fight over Islington Boxing C
Submitted by Artful Dodger on Fri, 2010-10-08 20:51.Let me start by saying that the claim by Oner and Enzo that they are taking legal action against two of the clubs officers and not "the club" per se, is a nonsense. The legal system may allow the distinction, however, we are not dealing with a faceless corporate company. We are dealing with real lives, real personalities and the backbone of a community based club. So please dont try to exempt yourselves from causing further damage.
It seems that messers Oner and Enzo, have enjoyed a peppercorn rent for many years, this seems to have allowed them to use the facilites of the club to build up their own commercial business. IBC charge a £30 registration, London Boxing charge £50, IBC charge £5 for adults per week, London Boxing charge £8 per session. Its exactly the same facilities, if the club is used just once a week, thats a massive hike of over 60% straight into the London Boxing business.
Oner and Enzo's claim that "they were running the club perfectly" beggars the question, Perfectly for whom ? Perfectly to build a commercial business on the back of a charitable organisation?
To try acting like "the victim" by shouting out "unfair rent increases" and acting like the little man versus the big bad landlord, sorry lads, dont insult my intelligence. You could walk away from this with the respect of everyone within the club and the community at large, instead you insist on continuing to drain their hard earned resources.
Shake hands and walk away now, keep your dignity, drop this stupid legal case.
