Fencing exhibition at Dane John Gardens, 10th August 2008

I have uploaded the photos taken at the exhibition. A nice day out, if a bit windy! Thank you to everyone for turning out and making the day so special. Hopefully we will have some new blood in the club as a result. I'm not sure the sabre jousting on bikes was an unqualified success - but good fun!

Here are the videos we took - some were a bit odd but they give a flavour of the day!

You can see that some of the videos are a bit strange - one I forgot i was recording, hence a good view of my feet! Can you tell that there was a Chinese influence in the background music?
