Hi all,

A few more things to take note of this week…

Individual Results

At the Allstar Cup at the weekend ET Segall came away with a bronze medal.
Bryn Saunders travelled to Poland for a Junior A Grade and made the 64.
Congratulations both.

Mens 2nds Results

At the weekend the Mens 2nds went to Birmingham for a quint. They were victorious against UEA and Nottingham but lost out to Brum and Cambridge.
They met Nottingham Trent yesterday in a knockout match and won rather convincingly 135 points to 53. Well done!
Their next match is next Wednesday at Iffley against Cambridge. The time is yet to be confirmed but keep Weds afternoon free if you can because it would be great for them to have support in what will be a good Varsity warm-up match!

Hi all,

Sports Awards

On Friday evening OUFC and OUMPA coach Tomek Walicki won the Imotiva Coach of the Year Award! Tomek has been coaching at Oxford for 25 years and coaches fencers of all levels – from Beginners to Olympians (Womens foilist Sophie Troiano who went to London 2012 this year was a pupil of his). He gives a great amount of time to the club (at the dinner we calculated that it was 2 years solid of those 25 years actually spent in the cricket schools!) and we are extremely grateful to him for his dedication and excellent teaching. Next time you see him give him a pat on the back and tell him how awesome he is.

Tingewick
I’m aware you’re probably sick of these nudges but I can’t emphasise enough how great the charities are that you’ll be raising money for if you book tickst for this years pantomime. I’ve seen some of the run throughs and it looks hilarious. www.tingewick.org

Hope you all had a great weekend and 6th week has started off well,
