It isn't long now until the Camden Fencing Christmas dinner, Thursday 15 December, and we would like thank all members whom have already confirmed their attendance.

For those of you who have not attended our previous Christmas parties, it's a great night to end the year with the traditional CFC awards and Christmas raffle.  

The raffle is an opportunity to raise money for the club but we can't do it without your help.

We need prizes for a successful raffle, so we are appealing to all members to donate prizes for the raffle, no matter how big or small. 
Your help would be very much appreciated. 

If you would like to contribute a prize towards the Christmas raffle (even if you can't attend the dinner), please email Shilpi at Shilpiwcf88@yahoo.co.uk

Thank you very much.

We look forward to seeing many of you at the dinner

Congratulations to Lumeng Yang who finished 6th in the Manchester Sabre junior national circuit event last weekend. Undeafeated in the poules she was seeded 4th going in to the direct elimination.  Lumeng had a bye through the round of L64, in the L32 she defeated Zahra Khan 15-9, in the L16 she beat Grace Grimshaw 15-9 and was then unfortunately beated 15-8 by Alex Davis in the L8.  A great result considering Lumeng is still not yet in her final cadet year.

Other Camden fencers in action at the tournament achieved the following placings:

Mens:
Asim Puljic 21st
Gabriel Van Hoffelen 31st
Louis Garbutt 35th
Harry Paffett 43rd

Womens:
