The pictures below, mostly newspaper cuttings, were collected over many years by various people.
Some of the articles are well known while others we know very little about.
This part of the site, then, will hopefully be a two-way communication area.
We hope that the articles and information contained within will give some insight
into The Bexley Fencing Club but we also hope that it may jog the odd memory or
two and enable us to find out more.
As with many historical artefacts, it is what is not told that may be important and
that is what we are trying to find out.
We are always looking for information about the club, so if you know anything
about The Bexley Fencing Club, anything about any of the pictures or articles,
anything about any of the people in the pictures or articles (or are one of those people)
then please get in touch with us. As we glean and discover, we will add additional pictures, notes and anything else we can find.
