Good evening fencers,
Hopefully you are all well and are avoiding the wave of Freshers Flu that is sweeping campus and are coming to join us tonight.
Anyway, tonight (Tuesday) is the first of our two taster sessions starting at 7:30 and running until 9:30 in the Westwood Games Hall. The next is at the same time and place tomorrow night.
If you live on campus and don’t know where the Westwood Games Hall is there will be a guide outside Costcutters at about 7:15.
All new fencers are encouraged to join us tonight. The club is still open for the enjoyment of out experienced members. And remember that we will be heading down to the pub afterwards.
See you tonight,
Sebastian
President

Laura
President and Madame Tyrant no longer
Yesterday the women’s team fought their first BUSA league match against Staffordshire University managing to win with a convincing 135-96.
Warwick’s ladies on top of that were victorious in all three weapon categories (sabre, foil and epee). Well done to everyone involved (the date of the match was very early into term 1 and on short notice). Laura remains our secret weapon in sabre and Rachel had some fantastic fights in the same weapon, having picked up a sabre for the first time in her life 10 minutes beforehand. Catherine, too, scored absolutely brilliant hits in foil and epee!
A very good head start for the Warwick women’s fencing team 
First off, welcome (or welcome back) to all current and budding fencers! The club has many plans, both fencing related and otherwise, for this year: so keep tuning in.
Check out our What's On page for details on training and taster sessions, and come visit our stall at the Sports Fair on Tuesday Week 1 (2nd October).
If you're interested in the ins-and-outs of poking people with metal sticks, mosey on to the About page with its potted guide to fencing, or the See Also section of our snazzy website with its helpful links. Alternatively, drop us an email or come and see us in person (fear not, we're not as scary as our photos suggest).
We hope to see many of you at training,
- The Exec
