LPJS Robin Hood Foil - 31 August 2019

Thanks, as always, to everyone who took part in the LPJS Robin Hood foil on Saturday. We hope you had an enjoyable day's fencing and a safe journey to and from the event. We try to run the poules so everyone gets as much fencing as possible before the DE rounds, so thanks to our small but perfectly formed team of referees who kept up with the demands of DT and fielded the supply of score sheets rattling off the printer. Some of them are old hands at this, but we would like to make a special mention of our junior referees, some of whom were refereeing at their first full competition. Good work team, we couldn't do it without you!

We are looking at dates for next year's event already and hope to see some of you again next time.

This event was run in honour of John Holt who dedicated many years to coaching in the East Midlands region. You can read more about John in this article from the April 2018 edition of The Sword magazine.

Without our team of volunteers to set up pistes, man the check-in desk, run DT, keep the spools, socreboxes and weapons working, referee the matches and keep the refreshment stall running we would not have an event.
