  Lots of things have been going on since my last e-mail.

Gavin and the club Presdient managed to get ranking oints at the Sssex Open. We then followed this with third place (of 12) in the epee at the ULU team event. The team was Joel, Gavin and Roger. More points for Alex, Gavin and David followed at the Bedford Open.

Joshua came second at the Surrey Novice Foil.

After that came the trip to France which set a new standard of what the club can do.

>From there the circus moved on to the Miller Hallet - we'll ignore the men's results but Nike held her points in the Milner Barry. In the Wilkinson Sword we (Joel Roger and SAtya from Westminister School) came 11th of 16th.

Finally we had a good foil match against Salle Poisson d'Or (Leatherhead) - with Chirs pulling out a win ffor the A team (Chris, Max, and Gareth), a comfortable win for the B team (David Lowe, Joshua, and Mike Bourke), and a narrow defeat for the C team (Lara, Charles, and Steve). Congratlations to all involved and the debutants ( Mike, Max, Gareth, Lara, and Joshua for their first team appearances).

  Isle of Wight A very good time was had by all - big hurrah to Ez who finsihed 38/75 in the foil and got a ranking at the first attempt. He almost did the same in epee, beating last years winner in the pools - this was less than three hours after Alan gave him his first lesson. Gavin and Nick made the last 64.

Many thanks to Barry, Alan and Nick for driving and Lara for her support. (I'll bring it back on Thursday :) )

  We woz robbed !! A good day out at the Surrey Epee and Sabre -Chris Towl came 5th - Gavin
lost by the odd point to Graham Miles to finish 14th and Chris Coton
came 13th in the epee. Ceri came 5th in the sabre. Can't remember Steve
and Spencers results and refuse to remember mine.

The sabreurs had a good outing but were unsucessful.

However the best was yet to come - the epeeists (Chris Coton, Joel and
Gavin) beat Guildford 45-40 and then duffed LTFC C. They then faced
Redhill and Reigate Epee Club, including Chris Howser (2005 British
Men's Epee Champion) - we won 45-41 with Joel holding out against Chris
Howser charge. The final was a truncated affair against LTFC due to the
hour - which ended up 45-36 based on three DEs henc e the e-mail' title.

Thanks to Alan and Tony Coton for their support.

  Isle of Wight Congratulations to Tarenn for coming sixth, everyone else for loads of good results - Padraig came close against Tim Buzwell - and Aidan pulled off a blinder of a come back (12 - 4 down at one point) to get into the rankings. We finished joint third in the foil team listings.

Many thanks to those who organised, drove, cheered on, coached and armourered.
