Club One Hit Epee

Held for the first time since 2000, this attracted a large number of entrants and numbers were limited to 18, giving 3 poules of 6. Everyone fenced each other and the competition finished just in time. Unsurprisingly, the 'real' epeeists came out on top but the results show how varied the field was. Congratulations to Simon Pearson who 'conincidently' was also the winner in 2000.

Novice Foil

Twelve novices entered, ranging in experience from nearly three years to just a couple of months. The competition was held over two weeks and the top six went on to fight a final poule of six on the second week.

Congratulations to Chris Hider. He scored a remarkable hat-trick of victories having won the novices for three years running. Fortunately for the rest of us, Chris will not be eligible for the Novices next year.

Commieserations to Vilya Harvey who had to pull out of the second week due to other commitments. Richard Bodington was the next highest fencer and was promoted in Vilya's place. Well done, Richard on achieving 4th place.
