50th anniversary of Abingdon Fencing Club! 🎉the afternoon of September 12
From 2pm to 5pm , we are having a celebratory casual fencing session alongside a reunion for fencers past and present and their families to reminisce and catch up.
There will be cake, and some fantastic photos and archive items from the club’s history to view.
We’d love to see as many people as possible who have an association with the club come along. There’s no need to fence if you don’t wish to and would prefer to chat. For those wanting to test out their fencing kit and prowess again, we will have casual fencing alongside the celebrations.
Do feel free to share any old photos or other memorabilia you have. We would love to hear your stories about the club
