NEWS HEADLINES
The latest news about the club and fencing.
On the 10th March 2011 the Reader Cadets attended the Sandwich event in Kent yet again (see third paragraph below), just over a year ago since their last sorte. A haul of trophies to be proud of including first place in both foil and epee! Well done everyone!! You just keep getting better - Six of the last eight in foil were from Bexley - HURRAH!!!
The last visit to Acacia hall will be on Saturday 4th December, this is a change to the previous advice below. This will only be for Cadets attending the Newham competition which has been confirmed as taking place. The next beginners course and return of the Reader Cadets to Acacia will still be on Saturday 8th January 2011 at 9:30 am.
Due to the continuing poor weather conditions, Acacia Hall is shut on Saturday 4th December, so there will be no additional fencing held for the Reader Cadets who have the Newham competition. The likelihood of the competition taking place is being assessed. The next beginners course and return of the Reader Cadets to Acacia will be on Saturday 8th January 2011 at 9:30 am.
On the 21st Feb 2010 The Reader Cadets entered their first individual foil and epee competition at Sandwich in Kent and came away with a haul of FOUR semi-final medals! Well done kids!!
The Len Camin Open 2010 has been moved forward to June 5th this year. It was very popular last year and we are looking forward to an even better turnout this year!
Kent Epee champions for another year, and i'm sure for a few more years at least yet! It was a hard fought title but as always Bexley prevailed.
The inaugural Len Camin Open was a success for all at the Bexley Fencing Club. Fun, effecient and well attended. Taking home the measures of success were Sarah Steacy and Maribel Glogowski with third placings in Paul Reader trophy event (Ladies Epee). Amanda Webster was the runner up to the eventual winner - Kate Dowlan. The men's event was a hard fought battle for the Len Camin Trophy. Matthew Dodwell and Robin Davenport went home with third placings, Tim Buzwell with second and Dudley Tredger showed his tenacity with first place.

Dudley Tredger once again saw Bexley to victory in the Chichester Open on the 24th May also in the competition were Sarah who came 16th in the Womens Foil and 28th in Epee and in Mens Epee was Andrew Martin (38), Mathew Gibbs (54), Tim Harding (62), and Gary Cue (33) who fenced for Army but he's Bexley really.
The Merseyside open saw two Bexley fencers do very well, Sarah Steacey came 7th in Foil and Paul Fitzpatrick came 16th in Epee. Excellent work guys!
Another Bexley win, Dudley won the Cambridge open (Saturday 3rd January) Excellent work!
Sad news as one of our members Paul Reader died on Monday (8th December) he will be greatly missed by everyone, he did so much for the club, maintaning this site, becoming the armourer and getting funding for various projects and organising space for the danson show last year, many thanks to everyone who could make it on wednesday night.
Sunday (7th December) Bexley won the kent team Epee we entered three teams and Bexley A brought home the win but bexley spirit means it was a team effort, and theres no way that we could've done it without the support of everyone there. Good job guys!
