"Who's going to drink from the quaich on my behalf I wonder?" says our Gav.
Methinks, a wee bit of background may be in order for those fencing unfortunates who either lack a knowledge of Gaelic,...

I've seen some fencers with sponsor labels on their non-fencing arm (not sabre).
ARe these acceptable in UK competitions and/or FIE or similar competitions abroard for foil and epee in individual...

The YDS has, for years, breathed life into youth-fencing in Scotland - mostly unrecognised but nonetheless an important facet of the sport that has proved to be a life-saver north of the border.

I'm so glad that Emily made the correct decision. at age 10, and took up fencing rather than cleaning her room.
I doubt very much that I would have linked to her Blog on CleaningMyRoom.com as I've...

Thanks for your advice John. You clearly have the vision to see how this great sport can be sold to the masses.

How about an amount commensurate with achievements to date.
Take a bow BF and bF!

Sadly, Stephanie is beaten by Nettersheim 13-10 in the 64. Still a good result though. Well done.

Poules over. Collister, only Brit left after the cut from 91 to 64. A very impressive 23rd for Stephanie. Well done

Clarke 66

"Good luck to GB fencers competing this weekend. Lets hope we get some really good results.

I hope we can get results published quickly.

I also hope there is a step change upwards in results"...

Many thanks to the Youth Development Series (YDS) team for another well organised, superbly-catered and thoroughly-enjoyable weekend at the Glasgow High-School.
It was gratifying to see so many...

I don't think I'm alone in recognising a wee bit of sadness in your words, Mr Smith, but whatever your decision you'll always be respected and admired for what you've put into this sport over the...

Peace and love through fencing - that's our motto up here in Scotland.

Great response Chris. A problem on your watch has been identified and you've fixed it as soon as it has been brought to your attention.
Now that's what I call effective AND transparent management,...

It must be about time for one Gavin; it's been too quiet for ages!

Ok, I'll admit that, in fencing terms, life began for me when I was 58 but I'm now 63 and getting progressively grumpier by the day
So, I'm going to moan again, as is my wont!
My target today is...

Oh well that's all right then! Let's be grateful that our tiny, little minds don't need to agonise over such weighty choices!

Taking away nothing from the excellent organisation of the Docklands wouldn't it have been better for Junior Foil (I haven't checked other weapons) Fencers to have had the possibility of taking part...

I think that this thread has highlighted that GB WF is lacking strength in depth and we need to look at ways to remedy this.
Kate and Yvonnes' parent(s) indicate that they are happy to let their...

Thanks for the heads-up Harty. I feel a lot happier now that I know SF tried their utmost to pull a WE team together. Sorry for having done you a disservice:(

Thank you Tom for a very insightful reply. I hadn't considered the social side of things until you pointed this out. I now believe that you're quite correct on that score:)
As for the bit about the...

AS NQAV pointed out the 5-Nations final result was very tight with 3 NGB countries tied at 2 wins each. The clinchers, and I surmise here, were, partially, attendance related and penalised...

Thanks for that Benjt. Now if that channel actually had more user-interest content than the paid-for pap that seems so important to BF at the moment wouldn't that be a link worth a visit or two?

One thing that I think needs more attention is the use of video via YouTube to promote and market our sport. Static posters and photographs, however well done, just cannot convey the mix of pace,...

Thanks Espada. Anyone else had a similar experience?
