Successful relaunch of Bromley Fencing Club
Bromley Fencing Club restarted in January after a short break since October. We have had a strong return of loyal fencers and have had quite a few new joiners getting stuck in.
Also pleasing to see a growing group of adults coming in for lessons from renowned coach Bob Bales.
The Club reopens Sunday 15th April for 12 weeks until July

The Bromley Trophy 2016 won by John Prineous
John, aged 8, who has been fencing just over a year, wins the marvellous Bromley Trophy for 2016.
To win the trophy he had to fence as many other club members as possible over the course of the year and win!
His determination and fearless attacks made him a force to be reckoned with and no one developed a counter to his onslaught.
Congratulations,
John!
Bromley results in Kent U16 Competition
Held at Tonbridge School on Sunday 29th November ’15
Tony Chen took Bronze in U16 Boys foil in a challenging poule of 8. Well Done!
Atlanta Tsiaoukkaas took Bronze in senior ladies foil, relinquishing her cup from last year but, again, against a challenging field, while Maggie Lan came 8th in the U16 Girls Foil keeping off the bottom of her poule in her first competition, always a nerve wracking experience but should go on to better things now, while Alex Harris-Fry was also breaking his maiden competition nerves in the Boys senior foil.
To have four entrants from a relatively small club is a good showing for Bromley Fencing Club.
Sam Xavier takes second bite at Bromley Trophy
Sam Xavier, 16, was presented with the Bromley Fencing Club Challenge Trophy for

Sam was also the first winner in the 2012/13 season.
