2024 Club Committee
Administration is the club's "Fourth Weapon". The club would not be able to operate without the support of its volunteers. If you have any questions about the club, you can ask these people when you see them at training.
The club also has two member protection officers (Kate Robinson and David Evans), whose only job is the welfare of club members. Should you ever feel unsafe for any reason at the club, please reach out to them first. All matters will be treated as confidential.
Note: Committee members without pictures have been substituted with images of Powerful Owls. These committee members are definitely people — Owls are not permitted to hold office in the club. For now.
Grace Robinson—President
She fences foil, yet her heart lies with epée; while caught in this turmoil, she got press-ganged into being president
Ian Cong —Vice-President, Social Officer
Meet Ian, the Social Officer and Vice President of the fencing club. He is a second-year master's student studying computer science, and completed his beginner's course in fencing in 2022. As a foilist, he loves to hold the right of way and not share his point with anyone. If you have any suggestions for club social events, get in touch with Ian.
Fabian Heyde—Secretary
Fabian is an ANU undergrad, Sydney refugee, and a pretty excellent fencer (according to himself). The only thing he enjoys more than fencing is club administration - truly the perfect secretary. He also runs the beginner course each semester.
Shaun Thomson—Treasurer
I’m Shaun, the Treasurer. You can rest assured that I am amply qualified to manage club finances with my criminology finance degree. I’ve been fencing for long enough that it makes me feel old, but I have plenty of experience I am happy to share, just come and say hello!
Sam Parsons - Equipment Officer
As Equipment Officer, Sam makes sure the club’s equipment is kept in good shape. If you have any issues with borrowed gear, Sam should be your first point of contact.
Jeremy Sadler - General Committee Member
Zach Wicks - General Committee Member
