Great day at the club this morning with our kids banners class graduating! Congratulations to them all on completing the course! Apologies to any of our fencers I didn’t manage to get photos of before they had go or had taken off their gear. Thanks to coaches Bela and Sam for their wonderful work.

Great to see all weapons being fenced at the club last night for the first time in a while! Thanks Sam Blackman for sharing your passion and knowledge of sabre with us.

Thanks to our fabulous and enthusiastic fencer Reuben we now have distinctive and easy to identify tags for our wires and gear!

A fun weekend of fencing was had at the 2026 Veterans Challenge and 2026 Oceania Veterans Competition in Canberra.

SA was well represented in the competition with CSFC's Pouyan Oshaghi winning gold in Mens Foil and Mixed Sabre and Darren Ferguson winning Bronze in Mens Epee.

ASC's Helen Swan came 5th in Women's Epee and was part of the Bronze winning Women's Epee Team Yellow. Alison Wotherspoon came in 10th in Womens Epee and was in the Silver winning Women's Epee Team Green along with ASC regular visitor Nadine Ferguson who was 7th in Women's Epee.

Great to catch up with the veteran gang and looking forward to fencing them all again in Melbourne at D.H.McKenzie AFC 1!

Great to see ASC members in action yesterday at The Lights Community and Sports Centre! Curtis was competing in U11 epee with Sunday refereeing.

Congratulations to Bridget for competing in her first national championship! Although our SA fencers didn’t make the podium this year they had a great experience fencing a much wider group of fencers, and meeting new and catching up with old friends from all around Australia and New Zealand!

More action on the pistes today with Salma, Serena and Christian representing SA. Also great to see our SA referees at the championships.
