Hello Fencers!
- Bristol White Eagle Fencing Club hosted the Jayne Rohde Bowl, the inter-school sabre championships for School Years 2, 3 & 4. This was also the T4 contest for those age groups. The trophy went to Colston's Primary in a close and exciting contest. Thanks to the referees: Gianna Colligiani, Nigel Cooley, Dan Wilkinson, facilitator Rosemary Greenwood, organiser Anna Grodent and tournament referee, Jon Dawkins.Coaches Anna Grodent and Robert Greenwood taught a large group of students, teens and Years 5 & 6, under difficult conditions. They and the self-governing collective that is the epee group when coach Jon Mason is away, made the packed hall hum with fencing. Thanks to all who helped.
- For the last two Saturdays we have had extended adult sessions, running from 9.30 to 12.30. That allows more time for fencing and gives coaching members a chance to get in some fencing. I intend to continue that for one more week and invite opinions.
See you soon,
John
