May I through your pages wish success to young Eli Frankham who was featured in last week’s edition? His grandfather Eli would be proud of his response to the family’s recent setbacks.

The Frankhams settled in Walpole several decades ago and his grandfather was well respected – he was president of the National Romani Rights Association (NRRA) and a political leader of Britain’s 100,000-strong Romani community.

Young Eli you deserve the chance to prove yourself. Go for it. We will be following and celebrating your boxing successes.
