ANU Fencing Club a Force at AFC2

June 13, 2018 ANU Fencing Club

ANU Fencers made waves at AFC2 last weekend in Adelaide with some of the club's best results in recent times.

Of particular note was in Men's Epee, where three ANU fencers made the top eight; Nigel Nutt 8th, Dale Drummond 6th and Jeremy Shelley 2nd.

D'Arcy Jessop came 14th in Men's Foil and Nigel Nutt came 2nd in Veteran Men's Foil.

Cameron Smith came 17th in Men's Sabre and 3rd in Veteran Men's Sabre.

The ANU Annual

September 1, 2016 ANU Fencing Club

The ANU Annual took place over the weekend of the 13th and 14th of August 2016. We had competitions in both Open and Novice categories in all three weapons. We also had a bake sale to raise funds for Unigames (my chocolate-chip cookies were delicious, just FYI).

In lieu of medals, the prizewinners were awarded more ANU-branded rubber ducks. If you'd like to know how it ended up, the final rankings are all up on the results page.

Results from the Novice and Veteran Epee competitions are available

With eight novices and eight veterans, these were both mixed competitions. Results are available from the results page (that's where they live!)

Thanks to everyone who came along, especially to the novices straight from the semester 1 beginners course who hadn't fenced Epee before and decided to give it a go.

Thanks also to Issy, whose receipt from Bunnings for "a bag of dirt and a test pot of paint" confused Ash greatly. The prizes (wee succulent pot plants) were well received by the winners. Hopefully, if they care for them well enough, we can re-use them next year!
