| CADS Celebrate a Silver Jubilee |
| On the 19th August current and past
members of Colchester & District Fencing Club
attended a barbeque to celebrate the club’s 25th
year. The celebration was a great success and it was also
attended by fencers from Ipswich, Wickford, Chelmsford,
University of Essex, Norfolk and Southend fencing clubs. |
| During the evening the Club made awards
to four members who spanned 25 years at the club. The
first went to Norman Golding, the club’s first
coach, who saw the club move from an evening class to a
club and was instrumental in starting the Essex Open run
by the Club. The second award was to John Ramsay who was
Chairman of CADS for at least 10 years and continued the
development of the Essex Open into the competition it is
today. The last award was to Alan Dann who is a current
member of the Club and one of its coaches. Alan
represents what a good club member is in the way he
supports the Club, arranges social events and helps on
club nights. The last award was to Lyndon Taylor for all
his help at the Club, not least the production of the
club’s newsletter, from where this report was
extracted. |
| Congratulations CADS from all fencers
in the region and best wishes for the next 25 years. |
