Berna won the ladies event from an extremely small entry! The top nine will go forward to fence in the Club Foil. Many thanks to all those who helped organise, especially to Diane Austin, Tonya Cheatham, Simon Pearson and S Jaya1ath for refereeing.

Club Foil (Mixed)
12th to 19th November
The first round of the Club Foil was held on the 12th November. The competition was limited to 18 entries and fenced in 3 poules of six fencers. The competition was then run by direct elimination and there was just time to fence an incomplete direct elimination round of 32, with the last four fencers having to fight for the final two places in the last 16. Special congratulations to Julien Hartley who took advantage of the withdrawal of Sam Piper. Julien was placed 12th after the seeding round. Commiserations to Tony Palmer, after his success of last week. Many thanks again to all those who refereed and especially to Diane Austin and Tonya Cheatham.

Result of last 32
Eugene Palmer beat Tony Palmer (10-4) and
Niki Lewis beat Richard Boddington (10-3).19th November: The direct elimination proved to be a success with Eugene Palmer nearly providing the major upset by only losing to Chris Hider by one point. Simon Wood had unfortunately to withdraw so Simon Pearson had a bye into the last 8. Sadly, Simon Pearson had had an argument with a tree over the weekend so was not at his best. Congratulations to all finalists, especially to Phil Fenn who won for the second year running. The Ladies Foil trophy was won by Kirsty Macdonald. John Kidd received a silver medal to add to his gold medal for the Intermediate Foil and Chris Hider and Vilya Harvey were joint bronze medalists. John will receive a bye into the Foil competition next year. Many thanks to all who volunteered to referee, Simon Pearson, Phil Fenn, Tim Schofield, S Jaya1ath and especially to Tim Ewing, who gave up most of an evening's fencing. We still owe you that beer.

Club One Hit Epee
10th December, 2004
This was a very popular competition this year with 30 members entering, double last year's entry. Julie would like to thank the following people for their help: Tim Schofield, Simon Pearson, Neale Thomas and Tim Harris. Special thanks to Andy Reynolds for his expertise and to Ben Measures for the use of his pentathlete one hit epee computer programme. To be able to run the competition on one evening meant fencing over 5 pistes and extending the evening until 10.30. (Fortunately, perhaps, several fencers scratched and there was just enough time at the end of the competition for the customery visit to the pub!)
First place was in contention by about 6 fencers for most of the evening and until the very last round it looked as if there would be a three way tie for first place, between Neale Thomas, Simon Pearson and Steve Pope but Steve dropped two fights in the final round, to leave the barrage between Neale Thomas and Simon Pearson. In the barrage, Neale and Simon treated each other with great respect with a careful, considered duel. Congratulations to Neale who got the winning hit.
Congratulations also to Berna Duymaz who had never picked up an epee before but who was the highest placed lady.

Club Intermediate Sabre
28th January, 2005
Interest in sabre is steadily increasing at the Club. I can recall just a few years ago when we struggled to get 5 fencers in the Club Sabre - on Friday there were 10 entries for the Intermediate Sabre alone, although, unfortunately, two members were caught up in traffic/work and had to withdraw. An increasing hazard of living in the crowded south-east I suppose.
The Competition was fenced in two poules of 5 followed by a direct elimination from eight. The poules were fenced one after the other, allowing us to use the box with the new sabre timings. The Competition ran speedily and efficiently, thanks especially to SJ for his sterling work refereeing. Congratulations to Antoine Ubaghs as the winner. Congratulations to Kirsty Macdonald as the highest placed lady. Antoine beat Kirsty in the final. Congratulations to Vilya Harvey and Richard Hall who were joint third.
The top 5 fencers after the round of poules were promoted to the Club Sabre next week.
Thanks to all who helped.

Special mention must be made of Antoine Ubaghs and Tonya Cheatham who competed despite arriving back from a long car journey from Belgium.

The final saw Gaurav Gupta gain a close victory over Tim Schofield, Tim also losing to Alex. Gaurav won all his matches except for his fight against Alex Soar. Alex proved the star of the tournament, winning all his matches and coming out a worthy winner. Congratulations. We would like to thank Simon Pearson for refereeing the final (and one of the semi finals last week) and for providing the software to run the Handicap.
