Salle Rose is more than just a sports club. We like to be part of the community. We have been involved in everything from the Suffolk Show in 1999 to the Felixstowe Festival of Youth 2000, and the Felixstowe Carnival most years. We run 'Come and Try' taster sessions for 8 and over at various venues in the county.

In Summer 04 we helped to run a taster session with Mencap. They have asked us to do it again so I think they liked it!. A photo will be appearing soon. Maybe not - privacy issues.

In July 2002 we did a morning of displays and taster sessions at Trimley St. Mary Primary School. It was great fun and we had an amazing reception. Some of the letters of thanks and drawings we later received have been scanned in and are displayed here.

Felixstowe Carnival 2000

These were taken on the day of the Felixstowe  Carnival 2000 where the theme was Victorian. Although the Brackenbury float did not enter in the theme category some of us tried to be in theme. Although these don't look much in thumbnail they are worth a click.

Fortunately no-one was around with a camera to see me in my blanket and Mel Gibson make-up - complete with 48'' Wallace Sword in 1999!!!!

St Niklaas Belgium  November 2000.

Thanks to Claudia Bokel (formally word No. 1- still in the top 10 - and could be No. 1 again) from Germany, for this picture of Jos, receiving her 3rd place medal from this competition. Claudia is the  one nearest to the official in the red and black tracksuit. Thanks for lending me your camera Claudia, I hope the other pictures are as nice.

The only way a referee ever gets seen?

Final of the Bristol Elite 2000. The fight is just over. Stepien Marik beats Jonathon Willis. Stepien is great to ref; he is always polite. John is too; he also gives it all he has got and shows good sportsmanship. They are two of my favourite men to referee.

There is an ongoing debate about how  to make fencing more attractive to spectators. Here's my idea.
