Fencers

Booking is now closed. If you wish to attend the Summer Camp please contact Don@scottish-fencing.com to see if there are any places left.

We recently heard the sad news that Mike Rollinson passed away on the 30 January 2016. Mike started fencing at a young age and pursued it through his physics studies at Edinburgh University. He ended up with a varied career in IT and weather forecasting systems that enabled a fair amount of travel. After many years out of fencing due to work, Mike took fencing up again in his early forties to get fit but the competitive bug bit again and he would travel with other club members to Open competitions in Scotland and England.

Congratulations to Edinburgh Fencing Club's womens foil team who retained their British title on the 7 December.  The team of Cathy Cook, Zoe Sudderick, Katie Smith, Victoria Duxbury and Chloe Dickson braved 'Storm Desmond' to compete in the British Team Championships in London. Edinburgh Fencing Club were the current holders of the title, and after an exciting and close final with London Team Salle Boston, the Edinburgh Team emerged the winners to retain their British Championship Title. The team picture is with Don McKenzie, EFC, coach.

Scottish Fencing and The Foundation for Scottish Fencing are running a series of competitions for under 15 and under 13 fencers in 2016-17 again. We will use these to select fencers for Challenge Wratislavia in March (and potentially one other foreign competition if the Youth Weapon Coordinators can find a suitable option).

The attached PDF contains information about a system of awards offered by Salle Ossian. The closing date for applications is Friday 19 December 2014.
