Van Diemen Fencing Club's Elektrik Epee Tournament - 2012

Saturday, July 28th saw eighteen keen competitors and some long suffering families and friends make their way to our wonderful new tournament and camp venue in Collinsvale.

We kicked it off with the Mixed Open Epee pools, with all VDFC fencers demonstrating a considerable improvement since the last tournament.

Next we held the Mixed U17s Epee event, with fewer entrants, but all were keen and all fenced well.

By the time we completed the Open Men's and Open Women's Epee, all had had their fencing fix for the weekend.

Georgie put on a fantastic canteen while also competing. Fruit, juices, muffins, hot food, cakes and more kept fencers fueled.

Each entrant receives a tournament pin and the 1st-4th places receive medals.
