Well this is my first post - my nic was given to me by the Reading Fencing Club members. I started armouring when I took my (then) little boys to competitions as I hated to depend on others and it sort of got out of control.
My boys are now not quite so little at 22 & 25 and they are both able to look after their own weapons now - I still get requests to help for those tricky problems (you know for example, a grum screw that wont come out because the head has come off). My little sons and myself are very active in running the club now - if you have a moment check us all out at

You never know there may be some of you that I may be able to advise!
