Hello fencers!
- This week we are contesting the McNeill Cup team sabre championship for January.
- The podium results for our January Club Epee Champion were: Jon Mason, Gold; Nick Scott-Samuel, Silver; Patrick Durant, Bronze. The epee group continues to gain strength on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
- There are not enough women fencing. We'll be running workshops, starting with sabre. Leaflets are available at all club sessions. Get the good news out to the women in your workplace, family or social networks.
- So far a dozen have reserved tickets to the club social at, Zorro - the Musical https://redgravetheatre.com/event/2018/03/zorro/240/, in which three of our swashbucklers will be fencing on stage. We'll be attending en masse on the evening of Saturday, 10th of March. If you'd like to come, let me know asap to get the reduced group price.
- We don't have the hall on Wednesday, 28th February. What is the collective will as to what we should do with that evening? An alternative venue? A night on the tiles? Let me know your thoughts.
- I have invested in another four Favero spools, four ground leads and another SmartBox scoring box.My aim is to get all of our juniors fencing electric on Saturday but also provide sufficient pistes for our growing number of adult fencers.
See you soon,
John
