AN?IW?fencing club has celebrated their largest complement of fencers sincethey formed.
West Wight Fencing Club, set up in 2007, held their presentation ceremony at West Wight Sports Centre recently.
Championship medals were shared across all age groups, from under tens to senior members.
Head coach Nick Stuart said: "The enthusiasm and dedication shown by the fencers has helped develop a strong and enthusiastic group showing real promise for the future.
"Fencing demands a high degree of patience and persistence, developing the combination of skills and tactical ability for a unique, fast moving combat sport.
"However fitness, agility and co-ordination are less important than the desire to learn and an enthusiasm for hitting your fellow man, safely and legally, of course."
The club meets on Saturday mornings at West Wight Sports Centre during term time.
