From Tuesday, 30th April the gym hall at St. Thomas of Aquin's will be used for exams. For four weeks tables and chairs will be set up for Highers and Nat 5s, and therefore the open fencing sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as the Wednesday cadet foil and sabre class will move to the school's assembly hall. All fencers are still welcome, but space might be limited.
Thursday's kids' sabre class will take place as usual in the small gym hall.

Keep fencing!

Congratulations to all of our fencers who took part at the Edinburgh Open! We were missing some of our senior fencers to other tournaments and commitments, but we still had competitors in every discipline representing the club.

From our more experienced fencers who brought home medals to the 13- and 14-year-olds at their first senior Open, we are proud of all of you.

Women's competitions
Epee: Bronze for Miriam, Daisy 9th
