EAST MIDLANDS REGION CLUB FIRST IN ENGLAND FENCING TO BE AWARDED CLUBMARK

Congratulations to Mick Dennis, Head Coach and Chair of Foiled Again Fencing Club in Derby, and all his team on an important first for England Fencing and East Midlands Region in particular. Foiled Again have just been awarded the Clubmark quality assurance standard after a lot of hard work getting systems and procedures into place.

When it comes to important things like bids for grants and funds or mundane things like local authority venue hire, the Clubmark award signals to Local Authorities, leisure and education departments that a sports club is run effectively and efficiently, and meets national standards especially concerning policies and procedures for equality, diversity and child protection and the way all its activities are managed and lead.

Well done to Foiled Again for being the very first England Fencing affiliated club to be awarded Clubmark. Region will be inviting Mick to brief the committee and possibly the AGM on the achievement, but organisers should feel free to contact Mick if you want to learn more. Club contact details are to be found under club links on this website.

Silvia Earl takes Bronze at World Veterans' Championships

Congratulations to Lincolnshire's very own Silvia Earl who won a bronze medal at sabre in her category at the recent World Veteran's Championships in Sydney, Australia. She's no slouch at foil and epee either with 13th places at both weapons. Well done too to Sylvie Brown for her 7th place at sabre and 10th place at epee and to Rob Brookes (34/36) in his Category Epee event.
