OLYMPIC FENCER CHAIRS 

IOC COMMISSION 

As chair of the International Olympic 

Committee’s Athletes’ Commission, 

Claudia Bokel of Germany, Olympic 

epee silver medallist in 2004, 

led an Athlete Career Programme 

delegation in November to six 

National Olympic Committees in 

southern Africa to hold workshops 

with local athletes and help them 

move into their post-competition 

careers. Since the programme was 

established in 2005, it has provided 

career development and job 

placement services to more than 

10,000 Olympic athletes from over 

100 countries. 

AGM – Open Forum 

In response to a question from 

Ronald Velden about whether 

there had been any improvement 

in Britain’s performance since the 

appointment of the performance 

director, chief executive Peter King 

said the World Class Performance 

Programme was not designed to get 

more fencers to achieve a L64 or 

better; it was focused on success 

in seven years’ time. 

DROP IN FENCING 

PARTICIPATION 

The latest Active People survey 

from Sport England of once-a week 

participation in funded sports by 

those aged 16+ shows a decline in 

the number of people fencing from 

13,600 in 2005/6 to 10,400 last 

year. Over the past seven years, 

only five out of 30 sports have 

shown any increase in regular 

participation. 

AGM – Finances 

The clearest explanation ever given of British Fencing’s financial situation was the 

verdict on John Troiano’s presentation of the accounts at the AGM. He began by going 

through the bad news: a heavy deficit of £216,000 was recorded for the financial year 

2012-13, made up as follows: 

• £99k on BF events, of which £47k was on the FIE women’s sabre England Cup now 

cancelled, £33k on championships at senior, junior and cadet level and£8k on the 

Eden Cup/Leon Paul. 

• £25k excess spend over budget on legal fees, the bulk of which being appeals over 

Olympic selection. 

• £24k of bad debts written off – a one-off occurrence. 

• £21k on the Olympic Games. 

• £19k on miscellaneous expenses. 

• £14k excess spend on The Sword. 

• £14k on other write downs – final settlement of £6k relating to the 2009 junior 

world championships in Belfast; £8k reduced stock value. 

As in the previous tax year, income had been just over £2 million, almost half of which 

was in the form of grants from UK Sport, with £172k coming from membership fees 

and £70k from sponsorship. Reserves were down to £292,648. 

The better news was that the Board now saw the management accounts each month 

and had to approve any new expenditure, and new auditors, haysmacintyre, had been 

appointed to ensure that financial statements were accurate and clear. The Board’s 

goal is to return the budget to balance over the next two years. 

AGM – Growth in the North-East 

Beth Davidson outlined the progress made in the North-East following a £250,000 

grant from Sport England in 2008, when she was appointed Fencing Development 

Officer. The aim was to increase participation in four years to 1000, but in that time 

more than 5000 people have had a go at fencing in the region. Another target was 

to increase the number of leader coaches to 50 in the three years to 2012; in fact, 

220 have become Go Fence leaders, among them 69 unemployed young people who 

have in turn introduced more than 800 people from their communities to fencing. 

Although the fencing project finished in 2013, Sport England has introduced a new 

3-year multi-sports programme. Quick to seize an opportunity, Beth has had 

wheelchair fencing accepted as a different sport.

NAVY FENCING WINS TOP AWARD 

The Royal Navy men’s fencing team has been awarded Best Team at the RN’s annual 

sports awards, beating off stiff competition from rugby union, judo and cycling. It is 

the first time the team has won the Royal Navy’s top sporting accolade, and comes 

on the back of a successful season crowned by victory over the Army and RAF at the 

2013 Interservices Fencing Competition. 

First competed in 1939, the Interservices pits swordsmen from all three services against 

each other in a day of intense but friendly competition. The Royal Navy were regular 

winners until 1957, when bayonet fencing was dropped from the competition. Since 

then the sport has been dominated by the other services, with a 20-year winning streak 

by the Army before the RAF rose to dominance in the 1980s. The Royal Navy did not 

win the title again until 2004 and since then have been snapping at the heels of the 

RAF fencers – narrowly losing the 2012 Interservices by one point. 

“In the early days, the fact that we had Royal Marines fencing bayonet led to numerous 

victories for the RN,” said Commander Mark Barton, Chairman of Navy Fencing. 

“It’s taken us a while to get over losing that weapon, but we’re back on form now 

and are looking to retain the title for as long as we can.” 

FOIL CO-ORDINATOR 

Sophie Troiano, who represented 

Great Britain for more than a decade 

and recently retired from international 

fencing, has been appointed foil 

co-ordinator on the International 

Youth Committee. She will be 

responsible for leading, managing 

and acting as representative for the 

foil cadet and junior age groups. 

Mark Nelson-Griffiths continues as 

assistant foil co-ordinator. Sophie 

competed at the London 2012 Olympic 

Games and was ranked first in the 

British foil rankings last year.

NORTH EAST REGION ACHIEVE THREE MORE YEARS OF FUNDING 

Fencing North East has been granted £100,000 by Sport England through the 

Community Sport Activation Fund to continue its award winning work for a further 

three years. The funding will allow North East Regional Development Officer Beth 

Davidson to continue her role full-time in the region, focussing on growing the sport 

in deprived areas and disabled fencing. 

The proposal was developed by Beth by bringing together a partnership of Durham 

University, Northumbria University, British Fencing, England Fencing, Street Games, 

The Princes Trust, Stockton Riverside College and Fencing North East, all of which are 

providing support to the project through direct and in-kind funding. Further funding 

came from UK Steel Enterprises to support work taking place in the Teesside area. 

Durham University and Northumbria University have been involved in the North East 

Development project since the outset in 2008 by providing facilities and expertise. 

This ongoing relationship will provide opportunities for students to gain coaching 

qualifications and deliver community programmes locally. 

Beth Davidson commented; “I’m so pleased to be in the position to continue the 

development of the sport in my home region and it’s an honour to have great partners. 

Their long-term contribution has enabled us to innovate, grow and engage people 

in some of the most challenging areas of Britain. The support from them and Sport 

England has been amazing. I think achieving the Prime Minister’s Big Society Award in 

August provided us with a boost and profile that made a difference.”

Roger Barnes 

Roger Barnes, seen here with the 

Winton and Cadet Winton trophies, 

died a year ago. He has been 

posthumously awarded Salle Joseph’s 

Hebden Cup for services to fencing. 

Salle president Joe Gibbons said, 

“Roger contributed as a fencer and as 

an organiser at every level of the sport 

and was a true embodiment of good 

sportsmanship. Yet he maintained such 

a discrete profile that he often blended 

in without receiving the appropriate 

recognition that he deserved. It will 

always be a personal regret that the 

salle did not make this award while 

Roger was alive. I should so much 

have liked to see his owlish features 

expressing ‘What, me?’”

Message from the Chair 

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR 

With a “Happy New Year” message to all our members, volunteers, 

fencers young and old – here I am with a look ahead to 2014. 

Let me update you on the Board. After 

the restructure, we are now 11 members, 

with eight elected and three independent 

appointments. Four Directors (Graham 

Paul, William Pitt, John Troiano, Georgina 

Usher) have now completed 12 months and 

three (Paul Abrahams, Tom Cadman, Clare 

Halsted) have done six months. Alp Orge 

stood for election again, last April, so is now 

the longest serving Director (with myself). 

Our new appointment, Janet Campbell, is 

our first Independent Director after you, 

the members, agreed that innovation at 

the May General Meeting. Julia Bracewell 

has just stood down, I’m very sad to say, 

because of pressure from work and family 

commitments. So, we are a Board of 11, 

with one further Independent Director to 

be sought by public and open competition 

in the New Year. 

We are now moving to another phase of 

change, in the Executive. We are seeking 

a new and full time CEO, replacing Peter 

King when he concludes his agreed and 

very effective stint with us at the end of 

March. We also plan to recruit a full time 

Development Director at the same time. 

Our plans are dependent on funding, 

of course. We expect answers early next 

year to the detailed cases we have made, 

in recent months, to Sport England and 

UK Sport, covering our Grow and Gold 

programmes. 

Much depends on the resources we have, 

but your Board and management are 

determined to progress forward with our 

ambitious 2024 strategic goals: to be the 

leading fencing nation, to have 50,000 

members and to become the best run 

sports governing body. As we enter 2014, 

we are just a decade away. Can we hit those 

targets? Yes, we can, but only through 

a major team effort, involving the whole 

community, our stakeholders and partners. 

It’s a helpful sign that we have now received 

the “Green” rating for our governance. 

In 2014, your Board has a number of 

priorities within the “3G” strategy. Let me 

highlight a few, so that you can check the 

progress we make: 

• continue effective management 

of finances; 

• implement our Review of 

BF Committees; 

• complete the Board’s Review of 

our competitions/events, led by 

Paul Abrahams. The changes will 

take effect from next season and 

will include improvements to the 

senior British championships; 

• put in place the new Talent Pathway; 

• develop the Grow and Gold programmes, 

within the funding provisions; 

• continue to improve our communications; 

• work on appropriate changes in the 

membership scheme, to enhance value 

for money and recruit more members; 

• develop the right management systems, 

for our 2024 ambitions. 

Overall, we are determined as a Board to 

win your trust in both us and in British 

Fencing. To do so, we have to keep listening, 

communicating and getting results. 

It’s vital you give feedback (good or bad) 

to me, the Directors and management. 

As ever – my mobile number and e mail 

are below. 

I wish for all of us a very happy 2014.

Beazley British 

Championships 

REPORTS 

(Photos by Getty Images for Beazley) 

Men’s Foil 

A field of 66 fencers competed for the 

men’s foil title, but both finalists emerged 

from the same first round poule. 

Marcus Mepstead (Sussex House) and 

Alex Tofalides (Salle Paul) were unlucky to 

draw each other so early on, but Mepstead 

won that encounter to make him fifth seed 

for the direct elimination stages whilst 

Tofalides was ranked 14th. Both fencers 

made light work of reaching the semi-finals 

where Mepstead beat Richard Kruse (Paul) 

15-10 and Tofalides defeated Ben Peggs 

(Paul) 15-11. 

With both fencers training together in the 

World Class Programme, it was no surprise 

that the first period was a cagey affair. 

But it was a surprise that the usually 

aggressive Tofalides decided to adopt 

defensive tactics. Although they did 

just enough to avoid a call of noncombativity 

during the first period, the 

score was deadlocked at 0-0 and in the 

second period non-combativity was called. 

Despite an early foray from Mepstead, the 

third period also ended in a non-combativity 

call and no score, with both fencers happy 

to wait for a final minute of fencing. When 

non-combativity is called in the final period 

of a fight, a full minute of fencing follows 

regardless of who scores first. Priority only 

comes into play if the scores are level at 

the end of that minute. 

Priority was awarded to Mepstead, but 

Tofalides stuck to his defensive tactics 

and retreated to the back line, where he 

had spent much of the fight. Scoring first 

was crucial and his tactics paid off when 

Mepstead attacked and Tofalides hit with 

a riposte. With only seconds on the clock, 

Mepstead was forced to attack again, but 

each time he did Tofalides hit with twisting 

counter-attacks. At 4-0 down Mepstead 

managed to score a consolation hit, but 

Tofalides took the crown 4-1.

Women’s Foil 

Georgia Hannay (Bristol) and Dominique 

Szokolovics (Sussex House) emerged from 

a field of 38 to fight off for the women’s 

foil title. An exceptionally slow start saw 

Hannay drop three fights in the 

first round, leaving her ranked a lowly 

24th for the knock-out stages of the 

tournament. Szokolovics – making a 

come-back seven years after last winning 

the title as Dominique Stowell – didn’t 

have the perfect start either, but dropped 

only one fight to be ranked 10th. Both 

found their form in the DE stages and 

made the quarter-finals quite easily. 

There, Hannay faced the in-form and No. 1 

ranked Catherine Cook (Shetland). A close 

encounter followed, but Hannay squeezed 

through 15-14 and then defeated Leah 

King (Sussex House) 15-11 in the semis. 

Szokolovics also had a tough quarter-final 

match, just defeating the No. 2 seed 

and 2010 champion Natalia Sheppard 

(Unattached) 10-9 at time before taking 

out Catriona Sibert (Edinburgh) 15-7 in 

the other semi. 

Szokolovics made the better of a cautious 

first period in the final, leading 4-2 going 

into the break. Both fencers kept a long 

distance with Hannay looking to use the 

counter-attack, a tactic that paid off as 

she took a 5-4 lead into the second break. 

But Szokolovics retook the lead with some 

well-timed attacks in the third period, 

forcing Hannay to attack with less than 

a minute left. Szokolovics was then able 

to pick her opponent off, winning her third 

national title 15-5.

Men’s Epee 

The largest event of the weekend saw 

91 competitors take part, Paul Sanchez- 

Lethem (Brixton) and David Gregory 

(Cheshire) coming through the first round 

seeded No. 1 and 2 respectively. Their 

rankings were a true reflection of their 

form on the day as they faced each other 

for the title. 

After a double to start proceedings, a 

beautiful high-low attack to foot from 

Sanchez-Lethem was matched by an 

equally well-timed low-high attack from 

Gregory to bring the score to 2-all. 

The tactics of both fencers became 

more apparent in the second period, 

with Sanchez-Lethem looking to launch 

surprise attacks while Gregory sought 

to work off his opponent’s attacks using 

stop-hits or blocking counter-attacks. 

Gregory came out on top at the end of 

the second period, leading 7-5 and then 

extended his lead to 12-9. 

With just 25 seconds remaining, the 

two fencers went toe-to-toe in the 

middle of the piste and after a messy 

exchange Sanchez-Lethem levelled at 

13-all. This intriguing tactical battle went 

into a final minute with Gregory winning 

priority, which allowed him to stick to 

his original game plan of playing off his 

opponent’s attack. He did just that, 

taking the title 14-13 is a compelling 

gold medal match. The bronze medals 

went to Chris Greensides (RAF) and 

Nick Perry (Haverstock).

As time ticked away, it became 

apparent that all was not well with 

Gregory, a seemingly innocuous hit to 

the thumb in his semi-final match now 

starting to take its toll. He tried to stay 

away from his opponent, but a fleche 

attack saw Sanchez-Lethem close the gap 

to 12-10 and then score another hit as he 

pushed Gregory over his back line. Looking 

to steady the ship, Gregory launched his 

first attack of the match successfully, 

but Sanchez-Lethem continued his own 

attacking game to take the score to 13-12.

A double hit in the men’s epee final 


Women’s Epee 

Despite dropping a fight each in the first 

round, Corinna Lawrence (Unattached) 

and Georgina Usher (Lansdowne) fought 

their way through a field of 64 to make 

the gold medal match in this event. 

Lawrence started the better of the two, 

employing skillful footwork on the attack 

and in defence to go 2-0 up. Usher’s 

experience played a big part in the pace 

of the fight though and she closed the 

gap to 4-3. A furious exchange followed, 

ending with both attacking each other 

in the low line and in turn blocking each 

other out. Lawrence reacted more sharply 

to go 5-3 up and then closed the first 

period with a well-timed fleche to lead 

6-3. At 10-6 up in the second period, 

Lawrence looked to have done enough to 

close this fight out, but Usher had other 

ideas. She slowed the fight down and her 

patience paid off as she went into the 

break only two hits down at 11-9. 

In the third period the two traded hits to 

take the score to 13-11. Again Usher’s 

experience shone through as she leveled 

the match at 13-13 with one attacking 

and one defensive move. Now this 

enthralling fight came down to which 

fencer was brave enough to take the 

match to their opponent. A short attack 

from Lawrence drew Usher’s counter, 

which was blocked and a single light 

came up for Lawrence – second-intention 

fencing at its best. With time running out, 

Usher was forced to go on the attack, 

playing into Lawrence’s hands who took 

the title 15-13. The bronze medals went 

to Jayne Crook (Wingerworth) and Amy 

Radford (Malvern). 

Lawrence fleches at Usher 

“ Now this enthralling fight came down to

Men’s Sabre 

With 71 fencers taking part in this event, 

it was Alex Crutchett (Brentwood) and 

James Honeybone (Truro) who made it 

through to the final at the expense 

of bronze medalists Soji Aiyenuro 

(Camden) and Maiyuran Ratneswaran 

(Imperial College). 

In a repeat of the 2011 final, Honeybone 

started well, going 3-0 up, but 

Crutchett attacked insistently and before 

long the scores were level at 5-all. During 

this comeback, Honeybone was hurt and 

clearly flustered on a number of occasions. 

However, three sharp attacks from him 

in reply to only one from Crutchett saw 

them going into the break with the Truro 

fencer leading 8-6. At the start of the 

second period, an assured and mature 

display from Crutchett brought the 

scores level at 8-all, only for Honeybone 

to steal the lead back with a stunningly 

well-timed attack. A beautifully executed 

parry riposte from Crutchett, based on a 

supreme command of distance saw him 

level things up again. After a number of 

simultaneous attacks, Crutchett took the 

lead for the first time and at 13-11 up the 

momentum had swung. Honeybone was 

on the back foot and the fight looked to 

be over as Crutchett went ahead 14-12 

and was on the brink of adding the 2013 

title to the one he won in 2011. But it 

was not to be, as Honeybone dug deep 

and drew level with two well-executed 

attacks. A series of simultaneous attacks 

followed and it was Honeybone who held 

his nerve to take the title 15-14. 

“ Honeybone dug deep and drew level 

with two well-executed attacks.”

Women’s Sabre 

Despite dropping a fight each in the first 

round, Jessica Davies (Bath) and Sophie 

Williams (Truro) fought their way through to 

the final from a field of 38. Both fencers had 

one tricky fight on the way: Williams just 

edged out Jo Hutchison (Camden) 15-14 in 

the quarter-finals and Davies came through 

against Harriet Dixon (Millfield) by the same 

score in the semis. 

In the final Davies started the stronger, 

quickly going into a 3-1 lead with a variety 

of moves. All of a sudden, Williams moved 

up a gear, scoring the next four hits, and 

maintained this pressure to take an 8-5 lead 

into the break. A more cautious approach 

from Davies at the start of the second 

period rewarded her for a short time, but 

then Williams sprung back to life to go 11-7 

up. Despite a late rally from Davies, 

Williams was not to be outdone and took 

the title 15-10. The bronze medals went 

to Dixon and Zoe Robinson (Camden).

World Combat Games Champion

KRUSE IS WORLD COMBAT 

GAMES CHAMPION 

(Photos by Serge Timacheff) 

Richard Kruse won the men’s foil event at 

the World Combat Games in St Petersburg 

in October, beating Race Imboden (USA) 

15-4 in the final. This was the second 

Games of its kind (the first was held in 

2010) and the first time that fencing has 

been included as one of the sports. 

The tournament invited the top 12 ranked 

fencers in the world at each weapon, with 

no more than two from any country, plus 

one each from Europe, Asia, Africa and the 

Americas to make a very strong line up. 

Britain was represented by Kruse and 

James Davis. In the first round Davis met 

Le Pechoux (FRA) and lost 7-15. Kruse 

found himself facing former world champion 

Andrea Baldini (ITA) and was soon 5-1 up 

before the Italian fought back to equalise. 

Kruse again pulled ahead to lead 14-9 and 

thought to have the match wrapped up, but 

the Italian managed to score three hits in 

succession with well timed attacks before 

Kruse won 15-12. “I have so much respect 

for Baldini and believed that if I could beat 

him then I could beat anyone else in that 

tournament”, said Richard. 

In the quarter-finals he met Alexey 

Cheremisinov (RUS), a bogeyman who 

beat him in the 2012 European 

championships and again in Tokyo in 2013. 

After a good start Kruse began to tire 

and the Russian led 10-9 at one stage. 

Recovering after the break, Kruse adopted 

a defensive strategy of counter-attacks, 

stop hits and parry ripostes mixed with 

a few attacks to keep him guessing and 

ran out the winner at 15-12. 

In the semis he met top seed Artur 

Akhmatkhuzin (RUS), who had knocked him 

out of the London Olympics and won the 

La Corunna world cup last season. Less 

mobile than Cherimisinov, he likes to fence 

at a tight distance, but Kruse adopted the 

same defensive game to win 15-10. 

In the other half of the draw, Olympic 

silver medallist Alaaeldin Abouelkassem 

(EGY) defeated No. 2 seed Andrea Cassara 

(ITA) 15-9, but was in turn bundled out 

by Race Imboden (USA) 15-6. The other 

quarter-finals saw Akhmatkhuzin edge out 

Peter Joppich (GER) 15-14 and 2013 world 

champion Miles Chamley-Watson (USA) 

beat Le Pechoux 15-9. Imboden then 

dominated the semi-final against his team 

mate to win 15-3.

“ I have so much 

respect for Baldini and 

believed that if I could 

beat him then I could 

beat anyone else in 

that tournament.” 

Kruse began the final highly focused 

and determined to succeed. After a 

shaky start, he completely dominated 

the match. “By the end I was hitting 

him with every shot I went for and won 

easily”, Richard added. “I would like to say 

a big thanks to James Davis who lost his 

first match but was still happy to stay 

in the venue and coach me throughout 

the day. James and I had a very enjoyable 

week in St Petersburg and watched as 

many combat sports as we could manage. 

We often forget that fencing is also a 

combat art because we are involved in a 

sports version of it; if we did it for real, it 

would be deadly! Therefore I am pleased 

that western fencing has been included 

in the programme of the World Combat 

Games.” 

In the match for bronze, Akhmatkhuzin 

prevailed over Chamley-Watson, who 

suffered from a leg injury, 15-12.

CENTENARY 

IN LAVISH STYLE 

(Photos by Serge Timacheff) 

FIE President Alisher Usmanov 

is believed to have spent around 

£3 million on the most spectacular 

fencing party ever held to celebrate 

the organisation’s centenary in Paris. 

A gala dinner for more than 1000 guests 

from some 140 federations in the 

splendid Grand Palais, a backdrop of 

dazzling images across an entire wall 

culminating in a kaleidoscopic mix of 

glittering swords accompanied by 

Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance performed 

by the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, a 

scantily clad troupe of dancers from the 

Lido de Paris holding epees and performing 

a specially created anniversary ballet, 

a brilliant back-projected 3D epee match 

and a fencing fashion show in which 

a dozen manufacturers presented 

imaginative ideas for outfits of the future 

were followed by stunning performances 

from two American virtuosi musicians – 

Grammy Award-winning jazz trumpeter 

Chris Botti and violinist Caroline 

Campbell – all topped off with a live 

concert by British rock star Sting.

REPORTS 

Dinner guests assemble 

Usmanov’s special advisor Maxim 

Paramanov and his team worked for 6 

months to prepare the Gala, with artistic 

director Nathalie Moellhausen, a member 

of the Italian epee team until the London 

2012 Olympics and director of the opening 

ceremony at the Paris 2010 world championships, 

taking 18 months’ time off from 

her fencing career to develop all the special 

events. She drew inspiration from a line 

in The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto 

Musashi, “We are all masters of ourselves”, 

to create a cleverly choreographed 3D 

match of five three-hit bouts in which a 

fencer takes a journey through five levels of 

fighting corresponding to the four elements 

of earth, air, water and fire, plus a fifth 

element called ether. He has to overcome 

obstacles related to these elements, as well 

as an unknown opponent whose identity 

he will discover if he is successful. After 

winning the match, our hero unmasks his 

opponent to reveal that he has been 

fighting... himself. 

“The book offers a valuable lesson in 

any field of life,” said Moellhausen. 

“That we are responsible for our actions, 

whether they end in success or failure. 

We are the only masters of ourselves. 

For me the goal was to write a story that 

used Mapping technology to emphasise 

the beauty of fencing and show how 

modern systems of entertainment can 

attract a worldwide audience.”

Diamonds, symbol of eternal strength, 

were the theme of the evening. 

The Lido de Paris dancers wore diamante

presented with a sword encrusted with 

a huge mock-diamond hilt. He, in turn, 

presented FIE swords of honour to his 

special guests, the French Minister of 

Sport & Youth Valérie Fourneyron and the 

present and past president of the IOC, 

Thomas Bach and Jacques Rogge.

LEON PAUL 

Fencing Centre 

For 40 years former Olympic 

fencer Barry Paul had a dream: a 

purpose-built centre where fencers 

could train at any time of day and 

where major competitions could be 

held. In September 2013 that dream 

came true when Leon Paul opened 

the UK’s first combined training 

and competition venue. The facility 

gives clubs and their fencers the 

opportunity to train in a state-ofthe-art 

centre every day of the week, 

all year round, as well as enjoying 

long sessions with no inconvenience 

or lost time setting up and packing 

away fencing apparatus. 

Being able to plan the centre from 

scratch, the company has incorporated 

several features not seen anywhere else in 

the world. It is built on a mezzanine level 

above the Leon Paul fencing shop and the 

fencing area alone is over 730m2 with 

12 competition-sized aluminum pistes 

built flush into the floor, spaced out for 

competitions, and a further 12 aluminum 

training pistes. With all the wiring hidden 

under the floor, boxes suspended from 

the ceiling and repeater lights at the end 

of the pistes (even Olympic-style lighting 

around the competition pistes), it is the 

perfect fencing environment. 

Special fencing-bag-size shelving helps 

keep the floor clear of fencing bags and, 

with members’ lockers at the centre, the 

days of carrying weapons to and from 

training on public transport will be a thing 

of the past. High spec changing rooms are 

another little luxury, along with an Olympic 

lifting platform for elite fencers to do their 

programmes. Strength & Conditioning 

coaches from Middlesex University are on 

hand to help any fencer wanting to start 

that sort of training. To make the centre 

inclusive for all, there is a social and viewing 

area for fencers to mingle before, during and 

after training. Parents have somewhere 

comfortable to watch their children train, 

with the advantage of free wifi to catch 

up on work or just pass the time. 

Competitions 

Another reason for building the centre was 

to have a venue that could stage fencing 

competitions of the highest standard. 

A new competition website has all the 

details of upcoming events, a real-time 

online entry and payment system and a 

comprehensive set of results detailing every 

fight that takes place in the competition. 

All events held at the centre have 

dedicated staff, including referees and 

floor managers, as well as being run to 

pre-published timetable. Because Leon 

Paul owns the venue, entry fees can be 

spent in improving the competition 

experience for the fencer rather than 

the hire of a hall and equipment. 

Competitions held at the centre to date 

have included a series of Opens using 

the senior World Cup format, a BSC cadet 

epee tournament and the first round 

of the Leon Paul League, a new set 

of intermediate events. 

Courses 

Fencing is more than just training and 

competing. The centre caters for all areas 

of the sport with courses in armoury, a 

refereeing school and coaching seminars. 

The venue provides the opportunity for 

Leon Paul to work closely with fencers 

and test new equipment in a laboratory. 

Hiring the facilities 

The fencing centre is open from 9 am to 

10 pm. Anyone can hire the facilities and 

several coaches have already started using 

the pistes to give private lessons during 

the day and evening. Full details of how 

you can do this are on the website. 

Other users of the centre include 

international teams who need a space 

to hold squad training, short camps 

and competition preparation. Several 

university teams have also started to hold 

their league matches there. Salle Paul Foil 

Club is the centre’s resident foil club and 

an epee club is currently being created.

The Future 

Leon Paul felt it was important to get 

the centre up and running as soon as 

possible. Phase II plans are already in 

place to take some of the downstairs 

space and construct a comprehensive 

gym facility and physiotherapy room, 

as well as an athletes’ lounge complete 

with licensed bar and Sky TV.

MATTHEW THOMPSON (1956-2013) 

Matthew 

Thompson 

MATTHEW THOMPSON 

(1956-2013) 

Matthew Thompson, 57, died of 

cancer at his home in Abingdon, 

Oxfordshire on 12th October 2013. 

Matthew was born in Leeds, but 

the family – father Jack, a civil 

servant, mother Hilda, a teacher, 

brother Robert and sisters Isobel 

and Camilla – soon moved to 

Sheffield and later to Radcliffe on 

Trent, where Matthew went to 

nearby West Bridgford College. 

In 1983, he moved south to Abingdon 

which became his home for the rest of his 

life, and where he discovered his great love 

– the sport of fencing. He was coached by 

John Llewellyn and Tomek Walicki, later 

becoming a coach himself, studying under 

Gabor Bognar, Peter Frolich and Zolte 

Nemeth. From this base in Oxfordshire, 

Matt travelled the country as a freelance 

engineering contractor, often working on 

contracts many miles from home. 

Wherever he found himself, he would turn 

up at the local fencing club, drop his kit 

bag in the corner and start the process 

of making new friends – a network which 

continued to grow throughout his life. 

In 2001, after a quiet period in the 

engineering trade, he decided to take the 

plunge and become a full-time fencing 

coach, turning his passion into his 

livelihood. He coached at clubs throughout 

the local area, including Oxford, Newbury 

and Abingdon, as well as at schools, 

notably the Dragon School in Oxford. 

As a coach, Matthew had many 

successful pupils, in particular Ben White 

(foil & epee) and Lydia Stanier (foil & epee), 

who collected many regional and national 

titles over several years, along with 

multiple international representative 

honours. However, it was typical of 

Matthew that he would take as much 

pride in a well-executed action from one 

of his ‘young Dragons’ in a school bout as 

he would when one of his high-performing 

fencers won a national championship. 

He was also a regular referee on the 

fencing circuit and, in addition to the normal 

refereeing duties, would provide an 

entertaining if sometimes witheringly critical 

commentary on the fencing performance 

of his friends and acquaintances. 

Given his passion for the sport, and 

for youth fencing in particular, it was 

inevitable that Matthew would become 

involved in its governing structures. He 

was actively involved with Berks, Bucks 

and Oxon county union, creating the 

still-popular ‘fencing picnic’, and with the 

Southern regional association. He later 

served two terms on the board of England 

Fencing – firstly as Youth Director, and 

subsequently as a non-executive director. 

He took over the running of the England 

Fencing youth performance programme 

Tomorrow’s Achievers in 2005 – a 

programme which he ran until a few weeks 

before his death. As Youth Director, he was 

the strategic lead behind the reshaping of 

England Fencing’s youth championships, 

and guided the founding of the U15 trips 

to Paris and Poland which are now an 

established fixture in the youth fencing 

calendar, attending all of the former and 

several of the latter as an official. 

For his services to the sport, England 

Fencing honoured him with a gold medal 

in June 2013. 

“For his services to 

the sport, England 

Fencing honoured him 

with a gold medal in 

June 2013.” 

After receiving his diagnosis, Matthew 

turned his attention to practical matters. 

With no dependents to consider, he 

established the Matthew Fencing Trust 

whose aims are: 

To aid young fencers in their development 

by providing facilities for young fencers 

through access to competitions and 

supporting them in being able to go and 

therefore gain appropriate experience, 

both fencing and other, that will enhance 

their development and performance both 

home and abroad. 

Donations to the trust can be made by 

sending cheques payable to Matthew 

Fencing Trust, c/o England Fencing, 

1 Baron’s Gate, 33-35, Rothschild Road, 

London W4 5HT. 

With his irreverent sense of humour intact 

until the last, he planned his own funeral, 

taking his final journey in a coffin designed 

to look like a Cadbury chocolate box, to 

the strains of the Goon’s Ying-tong song. 

He will be sadly missed by his family and 

wide circle of friends.

Breast and chest protector 

Development 

In 1981 a nun at a New Zealand 

girls’ school asked a local plastics 

company to make a breast shield 

for pupils playing football. The 

original product was made from 

a formable resin baked in an oven, 

and it led QP Sport to become 

the only company in the world 

focussing solely on breast and 

chest protection. 

In 1902, Lady Colin Campbell, one of the 

pioneers of women’s fencing, was said to 

wear a loose silk shirt over a narrow corset 

belt and a padded suede jacket. Jackets 

made from linen, twill and moleskin were 

also available, although the outfit worn by 

a so-called female fencing master depicted 

on a 1905 postcard (Fig. 2) looks to be more 

eye-catching than practical. 

Fig.2 

After the war, Leon Paul began offering 

vacuum formed protectors (Fig. 5). 

However, sizes were restricted to small or 

medium and further progress was slow in 

coming. Uhlmann’s catalogue of 1964 still 

showed wire and leather inserts (Fig. 6) and 

Castello offered two plastic variations in 

1975 (Fig. 7). Then in the 1980s the breast 

shield became available. 

Ever since women started fencing in the 

late 19 th century, there has been a need 

for added protection. Initially, jackets 

were simply designed with extra quilting, 

as shown in an 1885 illustration of the 

latest outfit for the well-dressed lady 

fencer published in the French fashion 

journal, L’Art et la Mode (Fig. 1). She 

wears a white patent leather embossed 

jerkin with red plush velvet sleeves and 

a broad red silk corset belt. 

Fig.6 

Fig.5 

Fig.7 

By 1924 women were fencing at the 

Olympics and manufacturers realised 

they needed to meet a demand for 

protection that went beyond a bit of 

extra padding. By the late 20s the big 

names, like Souzy and Prieur, were 

making jackets with inside pockets into 

which two types of protector could be 

fitted: wire mesh (Fig. 3) or padded cloth. 

In 1934 Soudet was the first to offer 

protectors made from aluminium (Fig. 4) 

and soon all fencing equipment suppliers 

were offering a variety of slip-in cups.

INSIGHTS 

By the 1990s Leon Paul’s catalogue 

featured QP Sport’s Econoguard injection 

moulded shield (Fig. 8) in an expanded size 

range. When the FIE established a breast 

protection standard in 2001, it was based 

on the company’s product, soon to include 

the Masterguard chest protector for men 

(Fig. 9). Through the lead fencing has taken 

in protecting its female participants, other 

sports have followed, including martial arts, 

paintball and various ball sports. Today the 

company collaborates with Portsmouth and 

Sheffield-Hallam universities in developing 

new breast protection products.

FENCING TIME VERSION 4 

FENCING TIME 

FENCING TIME 

VERSION 4 

Fencing Time is a well regarded 

program for running tournaments, 

albeit with a strong American bias. 

Dan Berke, the author of the 

program, has now produced the 

next version, which not only 

removes the Americanisms but 

adds a number of new features. 

Localisation and Internationalisation 

An irritant with the current version is the 

use of terms such as ‘strip’ instead of 

‘piste’. The new version offers a British 

English translation that removes all such 

American terms. However, the major 

change is that the new version runs under 

an authority, in the case of the UK this is 

the BFA. This serves to define licences, 

regions and some competition formula 

(e.g. age group competitions now have 

DE bouts to 10 hits rather than best of 

three 5-hit bouts). 

The Database 

One of the great advantages of Fencing 

Time has always been the database, 

enabling one to enter competitors 

without having to retype their 

information each time. This has now 

been extended so it holds referee 

information as well. A significant 

change is the ability to hold multiple 

licences, e.g. a BFA and an FIE licence. 

Most importantly, it offers the ability 

to use a shared database. This allows 

multiple systems to share the same data 

and allows extensive new functionality. 

Client/Server Mode 

Running in ‘client/server’ mode allows 

multiple PCs to connect to the database, 

which allows a number of possibilities: 

• Check-in can be done on the computer 

rather than on paper; there is a specific 

profile for this 

• Multiple operators in the DT can use 

common data 

• An application to drive remote monitors 

is provided which can display status 

information, such as entrants, poule 

composition and DE bouts together with 

pistes and times 

Tournament Management 

Fencing Time has always been known as 

a tournament management program, able 

to manage multiple competitions with a 

single instance of the program, rather than 

requiring an instance per competition. 

Features that have now been added 

include: 

• Automated allocation of pistes and times 

• Automated allocation of referees from 

a list of tournament referees to 

particular competitions and poules or 

DE bouts within a competition. 

• Specification of a formula for 

competitions; while this is not 

significant for domestic competitions, 

a standard list of formulae appropriate 

for international competitions is supplied 

Live Results 

Waiting for information is not something 

that today’s socially networked youngsters 

are accustomed to. Fencing Time obliges by 

automating the publication of results live to 

the web as the tournament runs. 

Version 4.0 will run domestic and 

international competitions, but has not 

yet been homologated by the SEMI of the 

FIE; once this happens, version 4.1 will be 

released. There will be a change of licensing 

for stand-alone and server editions of the 

program. 

This is a significant upgrade to an already 

excellent program; those who are not 

committed to other programs are 

recommended to take a look at it.

Book reviews 

FENCING AT WESTMINSTER 

by Edmund Gray and Edmund Wareham 

Westminster was one of the first 

public schools to employ a fencing master, 

Domenico Angelo, from 1766 if not earlier. 

There has been a continuous tradition of 

fencing at the school ever since and in 

their book, Fencing at Westminster School 

1766-2013, Edmund Gray and Edmund 

Wareham have meticulously recorded 

the personalities and achievements of its 

leading fencers. At the same time, they 

trace the development of fencing from 

an accomplishment of a gentleman to 

a modern sport against the background 

of the evolving school. 

Those who fenced with distinction at 

Westminster and went on to have 

distinguished careers included Lord Adrian, 

Nobel Prize physiologist and Chancellor 

of Cambridge University, Pierre Turquet, 

who was a member of every British world 

championship sabre team from 1937 to 

1955, Nigel Lawson, Chancellor of the 

Exchequer, the actor Corin Redgrave 

and Nick Halsted, president of the AFA. 

The book, which marks 25 years of coaching 

at the school by Tomek Walicki, costs 

£10 (including p&p) and is available from

Round-up 

VETS NEWS World 

Championships 

Another year, another star 

emerges. On reaching the age of 

70 after years of fencing in relative 

obscurity, Malcolm Cawton swept 

aside the world’s best sabreurs in 

his age group to win Britain’s only 

gold medal at the 2013 world 

championships in Varna, Bulgaria. 

Earlier in the week, he had already 

taken silver in the men’s foil event, 

only Russia’s master foilist Gari 

Aftandilov preventing him becoming 

a double world champion. 

Malcolm Cawton wins the 70+ 

sabre championship 

Britain’s third silver medal was won by 

Jane Hutchison in the women’s 50+ sabre 

where she maintained her No. 2 seeding 

after the poules to reach the final, but 

found the reigning world and European 

champion, Friederike Janshen of Germany, 

too strong and went down 6-10.

The men’s 70+ sabre final was an all-British 

affair, with Bill Osbaldeston using his well 

honed epee technique to confound more 

conventional sabreurs and take out the 

reigning European champion Aftandilov 

10-4, No. 2 seed Spertini (FRA) 10-5 and 

former champion Nettingsmeyer (GER) 

10-6 before narrowly conceding defeat 

to Cawton 8-10.

Janet Cooksey rarely enters a veterans’ 

event without winning a medal and these 

world championships were no exception, 

although she had to settle for bronze in 

both 70+ foil and epee, as she fell to the 

incomparable Marie Chantal Demaille of 

France in the semi-finals of both events. 

Demaille achieved the unique distinction in 

2013 of making a clean sweep of European 

and world titles at every weapon.

Other bronze medals were won by Richard 

Bonehill in 60+ men’s sabre, edging out 

the No. 2 seed Patrick Pele (FRA) 10-9 

and former champion Wang Yung (USA) 

10-8 before falling to the reigning world 

champion Giulio Paroli (ITA) in the semis; 

Silvia Earl in 60+ women’s sabre, who 

just beat teammate and No. 4 seed Sue 

Benney 10-9 and then Linda Dunn (USA) 

10-7 before falling to Jane Eyre (USA) who 

went on to win the championship; and 

Malcolm Fare in 70+ men’s epee, who rode 

his luck with a couple of 10-9 victories 

before falling to Ermes Cassago (ITA) who 

won the title.

ROUND-UP 

SUSSEX OPEN 

One of the highest standard Sussex Opens 

in recent memory took place over a chilly 

weekend in October. Some closely fought 

matches in the 53-strong men’s epee event 

saw Jamie Stuart of Redhill & Reigate knock 

out Crawley’s Dudley ‘Deadly’ Tredger 15-14 

on his way to the final, where he met Chris 

Rocks of Shetland, who had achieved a 

similarly nail-biting finish against Harrison 

Nichols of Salle Gadaski. The final ended in 

a climactic 15-13 win for Rocks. 

Nicola Hull of Dream Fencing took the 

straightforward route to the final of the 

women’s epee and delivered a 15-12 win 

over Reading’s Verity Howell. 

Crawley’s Chiara McDermott won her third 

consecutive women’s foil title with clear 

wins throughout, beating Emily Goodchild 

of Wellington 15-6 in the final. 

In the men’s foil, Rafa Lagattolla of 

Saxon had to fend off the thrusts and 

lunges of Brighton & Hove’s Brian ‘Snake 

hips’ Causton and then the eventual top 

old-boy and joint bronze medallist 

Tony Bartlett of Lansdowne to reach 

the final. There he met the No. 1 seed, 

Glen Ostacchini of Salle Boston, who 

had knocked out the top under-18 fencer 

Luke Deamer of Crawley in the semis and 

went on to take the title with a convincing 

15-7 victory.
