Young fencers from the club attended the Welsh Youth Epee and Sabre Championships over the weekend of 22nd January and the Foil Championships on 5th Feb.
The first competitions of the year and we bring 8 medals home including 2 GOLD!
Each fencer acquited themselves well and the club, and all 3 coaches present from the club over the first weekend, were very proud of each of them.
Yesterday 5 fencers went to Cardiff and won 2 medals i na competition with over 55 entries!
Thanks to all of you! |

We (the Dignams) sponsor a little boy in Ghana, he is in an orphanage. The orphanage are trying to buy a mini bus to allow children from the area to attend the orphanage school.
His name is Derrick Bond and he was found on the streets and taken in by the orphanage a few years ago. He is 8 years old now and a really happy little boy.
The orphanage is run by a UK Charity and is very efficient and effective, all the money gets to the people who need it and is not wasted in red tape.
Details can be found here http://www.newlifeinternationalorphanage.org
I worked in Ghana for a short while and I have seen the poverty at first hand..
We would like the club to hold a sponsored event in the new year, possibly an 8 or even 12 hour FENCATHON to raise money for the orphange, please let me know if you are interested in participating!
The club is doing well for finances and it would be good to do something to build team spirit and for any money raised to go to a VERY good cause.
The plan, at the moment, is a continuous fight, in relays, we will need to "sell" time to sponsors so family and friends will pay perhaps £1 per minute, and every fencer participating will sell 30 minutes or as many as they can perhaps?
If anyone has other suggestions let me know, but a sponsored walk or something is too easy!

Over the weekend a number of young fencers from the club attended the Welsh qualification rounds for the British Youth Championships, to be held at the British fencing centre of excellence in Sheffield over the Easter Weekend.
We came home with 4 gold medals and 4 silver medals in total, quite a haul for such a new club!
