I got the chance to take fencing to Woodcraft Folk this evening. www.woodcraft.org.uk
They were a lovely group, very attentive and fast to pick up the moves. It was great to have such a keen group and I hope some of them will bear fencing in mind in the future as there was real potential there.

Off to a primary school in the Forest of Dean tomorrow ( thank goodness the snow has gone) and then a birthday party on Saturday!!

Spent a great evening with the Explorer scouts last night. We had 3 experienced fencers and some seriously quick learners! Im back again next week and cant wait to see what suprises the next group are going to throw at me! As for the gingerbread, well……….. Im speechless – looked wonderful and tasted even better!

I will also have my new consignment of chest protectors so there will be no holding back!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! I cant wait to get back to the piste again though!. Im off to Gloucester tonight – taking up my official new post of Assistant Coach for the juniors.

Next week will also see me braving the weather and working in three of the counties primary schools taking fencing to afterschool clubs – Im looking forward to it.

My new years resolution is to blog more often………….
