 Fencing is one of the oldest sports in the world (1200BC - beat that, football) and never fails to conjure images of swashbuckling heros clashing swords as they kick furniture around (and generally do everything possible to create a massive Home Contents Insurence claim). Or maybe you've actually tried it. In which case it probably brings to mind images of wildly-stabbing novices, shouting sabreurs, and that time the Men's Captain got chased around the hall by a Frenchmen in just his boxers. Either way, modern fencing is a sport of speed, dexterity, and (if you're lucky) tactics. It's a great way to improve your co-ordination, balance and flexibility. It's also more fun than a barrel-o-monkeys. So let the stabbing begin!
Training is currently on SUNDAYS and FRIDAYS

Success at Plymouth (and other matters) - Monday, February 01, 2010 First up, congratulations to Beth and Nicky for coming 11th and 15th respectively at the Plymouth Open. You are now both ranked fencers, and we shall expect you to live up to it!
In other news, just a heads-up that there's going to be a fantastic training weekend, complete with real professional coach (sorry Andrew!) towards the end of April. It'll be fun, informative, and probably highly exhausting. More importantly, it'll be cheap as the club gets funding to support this sort of thing.
Oh, and check out the calender page of details of the upcoming socials. We've got post-match Mono this Wednesday, then some house-party fun and games for Chinese New Year.
That's all for now. Have a fun first week back!

I Must Not Update The Website In The Pub - Sunday, January 24, 2010 Alrighty, the dates on the training page are now correct!
I'm sorry for any confusion caused.
In bigger news...
The women won their match on Wednesday!
That is all. Carry on.

Exams and Opens - Thursday, January 14, 2010 The terrible exams are coming with their usual aura of panic and annoying usage of the sports hall.
Check the Training page (menu up there ^) for details on training over the exam period.
On a more exciting note, the Hampshire Open is on the Saturday 20th February. There's both men's and women's foil and sabre (sorry epiests!) and it's a hop away in Fareham.
If you fancy going, get onto the forum and start making noise. There's already a few of us interested.
