Farewell Michael!

Una, the coaches and the HVFC committee would like to extend an appreciation for everything that Michael has contributed to the club. He has put in many hours helping club members and Fencing Central in a multitude of tasks such as:

  • Ran regional weapons control and helped with the past 3 years of national competitions ran by fencing central
  • Testing and fixing gear for club and Central fencers
  • Assisting club members in every competition with gear and piste side coaching
