With the approach of September, the customary summer break for fencing =
is
gradually coming to a close. The committee and members of the St. Paul
Fencing Club are gearing up for the new and eventful season 2005/2006 w=

promises to be as successful and rewarding as in previous years.
A full training programme has been prepared for all the club members in=
preparation
for the forthcoming competitive events at both Club and National level;=
the
first of which is scheduled for third week in October.
It is also the club's intention to participate in at least one
international club event in Europe later in the season to expose our athletes to forei=
gn
opponents and to test their skills at a higher level.
For those interested in having an active lifestyle, beginners
courses for both children and adults will be organized by SPFC in the m=
onth
of September. These courses are designed to promote fitness as well as
learning the basic skills of this sport. An important feature of these
courses is the interaction between the participant's allowing for
confidence building and the making of new friends in a sports orientated
environment. Another aspect of this sport is appreciating the art, hist=
ory
and technique of swordplay which is useful for all stage and film
enthusiasts aspiring to work in this field.
At the moment the SPFC has placings for a limited group of children and
adults who wish to try out this activity. For any further information t=
