We are delighted to welcome Calum de Sainte Croix as the new head coach of GWEFC – he is the son of Graeme (aka Dusty) who was our founding coach (some years ago).
Calum brings a wealth of coaching and competitive fencing experience – also, refereeing, armoury, competition organisation, film extra-ing.
Tonight will be Mark’s last night coaching at GWEFC – he is planning on more time on the other type of piste.
We look forward to more Facebook updates from his skiing and biking adventures. Also, expect to see him back at GWEFC as a fencer.

Due to the current weather situation, Cally Uni's Glasgow campus will be closed on Thursday 1st March, so GWEFC will not be running.
As has become tradition, we will take a break over the holiday period, but not before the Christmas Competition and Special Tactics Training (ie the Pub) nights.
This will be our last fencing night and will be our usual Christmas Competition. This will be a team match, open to all, we will decide the teams and weapons at the start of the evening – possibly changing mid-way through depending on when the Epeeists arrive. Please try to arrive in time for team selection starting at 7pm.
