Fencing Victoria “Give it a Go” Demonstration
The Lord Mayors Charitable Foundation.. 85th Anniversary…Saturday 25th October 2008. Alexandra Gardens Melbourne.
What a great opportunity to showcase our sport and be involved in a wonderful charitable exhibition.
The Day was a massive success with hundreds – thousands of children and their families wandering the picturesque Gardens by the Yarra River and picking up a fencing mask and plastic foil and learning how to hit like a Fencer.
Thanks to Darcy and Josh from Monash Uni for spending the bulk of the day handing out flyers, masks and foils and putting on their whites and demonstrating all three weapons in overcast 30 degrees weather!
Fencing was located just off Boathouse Drive on the Palm Lawn, 10:00 am til 4:30pm. We still had people lining up at 4:30 and other sports had already pulled their marquees down and left!
