So, the revised plan is that from 7.30pm on 21st Dec. we convene at the North China restaurant on Acton high street, along the road from the Red Lion. We have booked their function room upstairs which seats about 30. There is no minimum charge and we can just order off menu (they do very nice Chinese food, the chilli beef is recommended).

Leon Paul Cup Satellite 2013 – Results
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013
Mens Foil
Christopher Mollard – 173rd
David Standen – 175th
Christopher and David were the only Saxons to fence in this years Leon Paul Cup Satellite International and representing Great Britain.
David was in wave 1 which started at 9.10am, in poule 2 and lost all 6 of his fights. Christopher was in a similar position, being in a smaller poule and also losing his 5 matches. With 180 fencers present, this was the toughest satellite event that mens foil has seen in the last few years and praise should be given to both of them for running some of their matches so close.
Well done to both of you.
