Fencer Loses His Head!

Sweyn and Andy fighting Epée - It's not as bad as it seems! Just a trick of the light.

St Albans Wins 2001 Herts Novice

On Thursday 5 July 2001, St. Albans Fencing Club were presented with the trophy for winning the Herts County Novice League competition 2000/2001. Spread over the previous year, the matches have been fought keenly by a large number of the club's novices, some of whom were at the club to receive the trophy on the night.

Cross Dressing Fencer Caught in the Act!

Be warned, this is a truly horrible photo - do not look at it just after you've eaten, or if you are heavily pregnant. Taken at the recent social event when we went to a Greek taverna for a meal (no he doesn't dress up like this as a matter of course, at least he tells us he doesn't) So rest assured, with committee members like this looking after the well-being of the club, we're obviously in safe hands.

Vince and Nick...

Vince makes a fleche at Nick (note Nick's flash Fencing shoes. If Vince wasn't travelling so fast, you could admire his as well).

Same bout - Nick tries to get over the back for a flick hit - Wot a great photo!

Morris Dancing as Well...!?

Roger - We think he was confused this night, and thought he was attending a morris dancing class Your guess is as good as mine!
