The Scottish Women's Foil team won Gold at the Veterans' Fencing 4 Nations match last weekend (9th/10th April).  The WF team contained several of our club members and regular visitors:

• Sheila Anderson (Capt) - Bellahouston FC
• Maria Cabrelli - GWEFC
• Helen Pitt - GWEFC
• Maire Steele - WFFC

This year's Glasgow Open was another well attended affair, with several club members competing on both days.  As usual we also had a full complement of people helping run the cafe.

The timing of the Sabre competitions in the afternoon meant that fencers could compete in both Epee and Sabre - although some scratched from Sabre to concentrate on their Epee results.

Men's Epee

• 21st - Mark McKenzie
• 23rd - Kris Moodley
• 31st - Emmanuel Mourlon-Druol
• 43rd - Ruadh Drummond

Caledonian University have advised us that we are unable to train at the ARC on the following dates

• 28th Apr 
• 5th May
• 12th May

The main hall is required to be used for exams on those dates.

This year's Edinburgh Open was much busier than previous years - causing some delays in the poules, but was still well run and finished in good time.  Results our members and regular visitors.

The free prize draw was won by Jonathan Jacobs who collected a new electric sabre donated by Leon Paul Scotland.
