CdA is a "not for profit" club run by a committe of its members who give their time freely for the betterment of fencing and their love of the sport. There are competitive fencers at the club (including some Internationals) but the general atmosphere on club nights is one of encouragement and respect. Any rivalries that might surface are usually resolved over a post-piste beer!
As a club Registered with British Fencing, we subscribe to the Policies and Guidelines (particularly in respect of Safeguarding, Safety and Diversity) published on the British Fencing website.
If Our Members
...are the lifeblood of the club, then the committee is the heart!
Selflessly giving their time and expertise, these Stalwarts guide and manage the Club through the perilous waters of the Fencing year.
Please stand up and show your appreciation for:
Patrick Clarke
Maurizio Molino
Julian England
Jolyon Hogarth-Scott
Alan Grafton BAF

Lead Coach and Founder Member
I was introduced to fencing at the age of 15 as part of the Government's "Sport for All" scheme. The School club folded when the money ran out and I was 30 before picked up a weapon again. This was at Salle Rouge, the progenitor of CdA (see our About Us page for more info).
I took my first coaching qualification in 2002 and have been coaching ever since, going full-time in 2010. A 3-weapon coach I work in several clubs and schools in and around South London. I am a Member of the Board of England Fencing where my main focus is on Club fencing, the real "grass roots" of our sport.
