After an absence of four years, professional boxing returns to Peterborough and finds a new home at the city’s flagship venue – The Peterborough Arena. Big time fight promoter Robert Waterman has joined forces with local businessmen to deliver a spectacular evening of boxing featuring some of the region’s brightest young stars on March 9th 2012.
Robert hopes a crowd of around 1,500 will watch the show, which is being filmed by Hatton TV and added: “The Peterborough Arena is a great venue, the people are good to work with and if we get the support we need, there will be regular big shows in Peterborough.”
Keith Dalton, Managing Director of The Peterborough Arena, said: “Hopefully this show is the start of the venue being established as a venue for major, top-class professional boxing.”
The show will raise funds for the RAF Benevolent Fund

I will soon be testing some Helly Hansen Workwear garments in what looks likely to be (according to the forecast) some fairly challenging conditions. At the moment it looks like winds of up to 25 mph and temperature lows of -1° c, so not particularly extreme, but as I shall be spending most of the day until late evening out in the elements I wanted to be well prepared.
As many of you experienced outdoor people will know, being comfortable outdoors is all about layering – clothes that allow moisture to flow through to the outer layers, and materials that do not hold moisture. Keeping warm and dry is essential.
The base layer of my garment selection is the Helly Hansen Kastrup T-shirt and matching Pants (long Johns) – these products will help keep me warm whilst wicking away moisture. For colder conditions Helly Hansen provide even warmer under clothes.
The next layer will be a Helly Hansen Richmond 1/4 zip fleece (not available on-line) – this is a high density thin fleece garment that looks great
The outer layer will be a Helly Hansen Brussels jacket – this will keep the wind and rain out whilst having a high degree of breathability
I may add additional layers as I see fit, I will let you know how I get on.
Update:
Well after a few days out in the rain and wind I am delighted to say that the layers worked extremely well -
The Helly Kastrup under garments kept me warm, I was particularly impressed with the way they worked when going from the cold/wet outdoors into a warm environment inside. Normally I would find that with other clothing you would quickly start to perspire and that cotton or poly/cotton garments would retain the moisture leading to discomfort when going back outside. I found that even when I did start to perspire that the under garments did not appear to soak up the perspiration, therefore showing that the moisture is passing through the garments (breathing). The close fit of the underwear was pleasant next to the skin, in fact you didn’t know you were wearing it once donned, and for me was just the right level of thermal protection for the environment I was in.
The Richmond middle layer was very comfortable – the high collar was a real benefit keeping you warm around the neck area and was a perfect weight for most of the time (I only added an extra middle layer garment in the evenings)
The Helly Brussels Jacket was an absolute pleasure to wear and was proved to be fully waterproof – I found that the lightweight fabric with mesh liner was a very acceptable combination of protection and performance. The jacket got a proper soaking of rain over a 3-4 hour spell – I remained perfectly dry inside the garment. A huge bonus was that the jacket looks extremely modern and allowed much greater freedom of movement over heavier quilted garments.
In conclusion – for me the most surprising thing was how few layers it kept to stay warm and dry – in previous years I have worn big thick padded coats and jumpers – I have either been too warm or too cold – I have now seen the light and am now a fan of layering clothes of the correct material types. I would personally fully recommend all of the above products, particularly if worn in conjunction with each other.
Regards
Clark
Edit: For waterproof trousers I used the Microflex Trousers – I have used these before with great success – very comfortable to wear, because they are very stretchy they slipped over my size 12 boots with a bit of fiddle, they also kept me completely dry from the rain and were very breathable.
Hand Washing Technique
It is widely accepted that there is a correct technique to good hand washing and separate studies from around the world show that good hand hygiene practices can reduce illness, sickness absence and the associated costs by up to 40%.
However, numerous studies continue to demonstrate that the correct procedure of hand washing is not adhered to.
To assist you in your efforts to improve hygiene De,b have provided some videos that demonstrate not only their products, but also general guidance on the correct way of washing your hands.
