Saturday Snap – En Garde!

A local fencing club was winding up a practice in the same Leisure Centre where Pace just finished swimming lessons. I took him over to peek at the action from the gym door and the members of the group, including a National Champion, could not have been more welcoming when they saw a young kid […]
