Changes to the Board

Following the England Fencing AGM last week, we are delighted to announce that we have appointed two new Board Members:

Beth Cranston Selby as Director nominated by the Regions.    Beth will continue the work now started with Regions to build a strong regional voice, find ways of sharing skills and strengths and seek ways to increase engagement with fencing at all levels in all regions.

Ev van Gemeren as Director nominated by England Veterans Fencing.  Ev brings the veterans into the England Fencing family and will encourage older fencers as competitors and officials both directly and through regions and clubs.

These two new appointments bring a wealth of expierience, enthusiasm and  energy to current Director of Fencing Richard Benstein.    This represents a sronger focus on fencing in England.

We are also very pleased to confirm that Milind Pradhan has been re-appointed as a Director and he will continue to provide the critical financial management without which we would be lost.

There were no election positions open at this AGM so  Caryl Oliver, Alp Orge, Alan Grafton and Alex Tofalides complete the Board.

We all look forward to working with the whole England Fencing community in the coming months and years.

 

Caryl Oliver

President, England Fencing
