With three clubs currently, Fencing in Tasmania is about to expand with a fourth fencing club, Van Diemen Fencing Club, opening in early 2011. Fencing in Tasmania until now has concentrated on children and younger adults. In 2011, fencing in Tasmania is going to change, with the Van Diemen Fencing Club provding programs for Seniors, dsadvantages youth and people with disabilities.
With old grudges between the North and South pushed aside, fencing in Tasmania will also become more exciting with Tasmanian fencing tournaments planned around the state. The first being on November 13th at Oatlands. It has been organised by the Tasmania University Fencing Club. E-mail van.diemen.fencing.club@gmail.com for more info.
Tasmanian epee fencers Mark Scully, Anthony Pisano and Avril Holderness-Roddam are planning to attend 3-4 National Open Fencing Tournaments in 2011. They are currently seeking sponsorship.
In summary, Fencing in Tasmania is about to enter an exciting time. So why not join in?! :)
Cheers,
Avril Holderness-Roddam, Tasmanian Fencer and Coach.
