We know that the owner of the Thimble series of boxes has now been living in Malta since late 2013 and do not know if any arrangements were made by him to have them maintained in his absence.
We can forward an e mail address on to you if required.

Either Malcolm Allderidge or Colin Richards should be able to identify the owner (that is if he / she is still boxing). Would have...
