The Fechtschule event was a roaring success. We had something like nine or ten different clubs’ members in attendance, and the “longest trip” record is now tied as we have the second Melbourne-ite in WSG’s history.The format of the Fechtschule followed the model at SKUNKS in Poland, which meant a constant turnover and high work rate from all. There’s a reason WSG regulars succeed in competition, other than their flawless technique and literally dazzling smiles, and that reason is that you get out what you put in. We put in blood, sweat, toil and tears, and reap the rewards.
