These are the records of Friday night's significant events.

• First Bout: New to the club, Mr. G. Evans victor vs. Mr. B. Gibson. Fairly evenly matched (5-3). On Foil.

• Second: Mr. M. Davis vs. Mr. Instructor J. Lorrig. It would seem the instructor was instructed (5-1). On Foil.

• Third: Ms. G. Farris vs. Mr. N. Ryan. Excellently matched though convincingly won (5-4). On Saber.

• Fourth: Mr. President vs. Mr. Instructor. In which the Instructor redeemed himself (7-6). On Saber.

Due to certain complaints from fencers at large, I will hereafter discontinue the practice of recording the longest lunge. Regardless, it would appear that the maximum duration of a lunge which the fencers may endure is somewhere below 3 minutes. If the instructor makes a regular practice of requiring such extended stretching, then it is likely that he will be more consistently ignored or perhaps even deposed.
