21.01.2022 On the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing we are reminded that if you dream of reaching the stars it can happen. Where will your fencing dream take you?

19.01.2022 2019 World Fencing Day will be celebrated on Saturday 7th September. As part of its basic principles and mission, the FIE encourages athletes, coaches, fencing ...clubs and federations worldwide to demonstrate not only their love of the sport of fencing, but also to use their talents and dedication to sport for the betterment of their communities and our shared environment. Since the first edition in 2017 of the World Fencing Day, fencers, coaches, clubs and federations gather in public places en masse to demonstrate in a creative and innovative way the sport to the public. Today, the FIE asks the fencing community to demonstrate the core values and principles of the fencing tradition in aid of their communities. Demonstrating the importance of fitness and nutrition to youth groups in disadvantaged areas and to the elderly, joining volunteer groups to help clean beaches and environmentally endangered places, and providing help for the most vulnerable in our society, are some of the ways that fencers, fencing clubs and federations can use the vast energy network in fencing to the betterment of those around them. In so doing, it is the hope of the FIE that fencers can show the world that fencing is not just a sport, but a positive state of mind that can benefit both the individual and the communities in which they live. On World Fencing Day, the Fencing for our Planet theme is a call to action for the worldwide fencing family to show that fencing and fencers care for people and the world.

17.01.2022 Dear Fencers, Great News? We are back. In case you wondered what has been happening Peter your coach and I have been spending much of our time becoming COVID aware and making our venue and arrangements COVID safe. We wanted to make sure that fencers who attended could actually fence and have coaching and not just do footwork and fitness training. In the process, we had to obtain full approval of Fencing Queensland and the State Government and that required submitting plans o...f the venue and appointing officials responsible to ensure safety as well as setting up the venue so that our sport could proceed safely and smoothly without us having to worry about compliance. Last night I signed off on the last statement of compliance so we are ready to commence junior classes Wednesday, that’s today at 4.30 and our regular Thursday senior or older fencers at 5.30 pm or tomorrow. You are all welcome to come to either session, numbers, and social distancing permitting. Remember our venue is the OES Hall 46 Ingham Road West End. Also, there is one entrance and exit. Non-participants must drop their fencers off at the hall and stay outside or leave. Touche Chris Alroe President
