The English Youth Championships took place over the weekend (27-28thJune 2009).

Wrexham Fencing Club members gained more success, this time competing at last Sunday’s (21/06/09) Yorkshire Youth League foil competition, held in Sheffield. The Yorkshire League is a series of fencing competitions held over the year at York, Hull, Sheffield and Leeds. The overall winner of the league is the fencer who manages to accumulate the most points over the series. The competitions are normally closed and only open to athletes either living in Yorkshire or attending a Yorkshire based fencing club. However Wrexham’s industrious coach Valerijs Schipanovs has been able to infiltrate the series. (more…)
February saw members from Wrexham Fencing Club representing Wales in the Junior (under 20) Commonwealth Fencing Championships, July will see members competing in the Veterans Commonwealth Fencing Championships. Although the veterans won’t be travelling quite the same distance as the juniors, you can bet that the fencing will be just as competitive, with national pride at stake. (more…)

Wrexham fencers assembled at the departure gate at Manchester airport waiting to board flight BE7213 under the watchful eye of head coach Mike Norfolk.

For any members of the club who want to attend this years end of season meal at Rossett Hall (Friday 3rd July), you will need to complete the form (link Below) for ordering your meal and return this to the club by Friday 26th June.
The intended venue for this year’s Annual General Meeting was Rossett Hall, where it was planned to mix the A.G.M. with the end of season meal. As there are only 60 places available at the end of season meal, it has been decided to change the date and venue of this year’s A.G.M. This will allow more club members to vote on any issues proposed and to vote for any persons that have been proposed for positions within the Wrexham Fencing Club Committee. The A.G.M. will now take place at 19.15 hours (7.15 pm) on Friday 26th June 2009 on Club Night at Ysgol Clywedog. This will allow the meeting to be evenly spread over the junior/ adult sessions. It is important that you turn up to vote. Any decisions made at the A.G.M., will effect the running of the club for next season.
Germany here we come. A party of 21 from Wrexham Fencing Club are off to take on the sporting might of the Germans. The club are travelling to Wrexham’s long standing twin German district of Markischer Kreis. Wrexham are taking on three fencing clubs from the town of Ludenschnad. In Germany, individual clubs concentrate on specific weapons, so Wrexham will have to be at their best, as they are competing in all three weapons against the German clubs. (more…)
