Summer Team Bonding During Foil Intensive!

We try to strike a balance between fencing hard and still having fun. Our day’s rest during Summer Intensive training is usually filled with a team-bonding activity. We had a great time last year at the escape rooms, and switched it up for some outdoor activity this year - aerial adventure park at Boundless Adventures!

Nothing better than comp and ice-cream to call it a day...

We ended the term with an in-house Youth Competition followed by ice-cream. Here are photos from the competition; sorry there aren't photos of us having ice-cream because we were obviously too busy with our treat.

See you all next term!
