ALL St Mark's School pupils at Morwenstow, from four to eleven-year-olds were treated to sabre fencing taster sessions on Tuesday, May 22 with Jon Salfield, head coach at Truro Fencing Club.

Jon, who is a GB National sabre coach, visited the school with Becky Price, who fenced for Great Britain in 2002/3 and has five fencing Internationals to be proud of.

Each class learnt a little about the history of the sport and practised some of the moves, before putting on masks and taking up the foam sabres to enjoy fencing with each other.
