What did I do?
I joined the Fencing club at Nottingham Trent University.
When did this take place?
I have attended several training nights and participated in several matches with other fencers since joining the club on the 26th October
What have I gained from this activity?
This is something I've wanted to do for a while, I considered it when I was at Queen's Belfast and since it's very local in CLifton, I decided to give it a go!
I'm not competitive by nature so mingling with competitive people was strange at first but I dove in and tried to fit in from the start. I was a little late joining so the others are a few weeks worth of training ahead of me and sometimes it shows.
Everyone has been very patient and it's been good socialising with a bunch of people I maybe otherwise wouldn't have. I've also won a couple of matches which was really great and over all it's been a lot of fun.
