First of all thanks to everyone that came to my birthday party last Saturday. It was fantastic to see so many people, some of whom I hadn't seen for far too long. It was an excellent evening. Oh, and special thanks to those who helped tidy up the next day. Many people have already put up photos and I will put up the few I have at some point soon-

Congratulations!

One of the things I used to like about fencing was the reminder about how easy it was to die way back when. Winning 9 out of 10? Still quite possibly dead, especially with a body hit.

Or at least I'd have got a nasty scratch on the arm. Dangerous things swords. I'm very glad that I will never have to fight someone with one for real.

Do arms count as targets with epees? I can't remember which weapon had which...

[conflux]

Yes for epee the whole body in on target. For foil it is torso only and for sabre it is upper body only.

[conflux]

Yes shame you couldn't make it. Will you be at the next L'Amour?
