Fencing up north!

[TAJ83]

Hi, I live in Yorkshire (Yeah, I know, but it's not my fault!) Happily, I go to university in Wales (!) and joined the fencing club. I have now been fencing for just under two years, and I've been in a couple of competitions.

My problem is that on returning home, the nearest fencing club is forty minutes away by train, and finishes at ten at night or something. I live near Scarborough, and want to try and find other fencers who live nearby, so I can set up a club in Scarborough, or maybe Bridlington.

If anyone has anything relevant to say, or just wants to laugh at the fact that I live in Yorkshire (I wasn't born there, OK? My family moved there six years ago.), then reply.

Another online resource that you might be interested in is www.fencingforum.com

Run by Leon Paul, it's a similar board to this one but primarily UK-centric. Same style board as here, with several posters in common (including myself). They're both well worth reading, but for people in the UK looking for local information fencingforum's a much better bet.

Yes TAJ83, would second you logging onto fencingforum.com.

It is very relevant to UK fencers: quite a few UK fencers read the forums, some UK coachs, some UK equipment suppliers, some serious UK referees do and a number of UK (and US) armourers etc.etc.
