Congratulations to our new committee going into the 2025 academic year!

Today we took part in varsity with
We had a great time and we’re looking forward to doing it again next year!

Last weekend some of our members made the long and arduous journey to Warwick for Warwick Uni’s national novices comp.

After many epic duels against competition from up and down the country, our squad of 6 brought home Gold in the womens Epee, Silver in the mens Epee, and the mens Sabre Plate!

Great comp if anyone's back in Coventry early!
