Hi, Hope you had a great half term.
We welcome a very special but very young fencer this term.
First, the very special news is that Lewis (our head coach) and Laura are happy to announce the birth of their first child Morrigan, congratulations to them all, and best of luck for the future. We expect to see her on the piste in 6 years’ time (although I expect we can make earlier allowances for her)!
Our new term starts this Sunday 26th February
