The third year of Salle Ossian was one of consolidation and achievement, including recognition as sports club of the year at the Perth and Kinross Sports Awards, club of the year and young official of the year by British Fencing. Our ladies sabre team are now competing regularly on the international circuit and Mark Alvares was the first Scotland-based male sabreur to be placed high enough to be selected to represent GB at the European Cadet Championships. Yet another highlight was when the club fencers interrupted the AGM to show their appreciation by applauding the trustees, parents and supporters of the club without whom we could not operate at such a level. Thanks to everyone for making Salle Ossian a great place to learn this amazing sport.
