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.
