GMK was once again fortunate to help set up another association called the British Thai Boxing Council (B.T.B.C.) with GM Woody & M Sken who formed it, I was part of the executive committee.

In 1984 GMK formed his own Camp and called it Siam Camp it is based in Oldham the birthplace of Muay Thai in the Northwest, the name of the Camp came from the place in respect to the Kingdom of Thailand Siam, and my teacher from Oldham. The camp is still running today and have been successful at all levels of competition with Champions at World European British National & Area level, you can visit our web site at www.siamcamp.com .
