Kate Hughes at the Fencing Nationals
Kate represented Sussex in the National Championships in Sheffield.
It was a very high standard. All were in top 3 or 4 of their region and some were 16years old so higher level than she had ever faced. Kate had seven fights. She went out in direct elimination having survived the pools. Kate came 40th place mark which is more than was expected.
The Sheffield arena was amazing with nearly 40 pistes set up and operating at same time. Kate met some great coaches and has been offered the opportunity to do some fencing in London in summer.

Teddy Bears Picnic in aid of Alzheimer's.
Tom King taught Classics at Ardingly College for 37 years and was Housemaster of Mertens. He retired in 2002 and shortly afterwards was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. He is now in a nursing home.
The Alzheimer’s Society is one of our nominated charities for this year and the charity focus event on today focused on this cause.
The weather was fine so a picnic lunch was enjoyed with music on South Quad. Everyone (-well almost) brought their teddy bear!
There was a prize (of a special Ardingly teddy bear – currently on display in the kitchen) for each of the following categories:
· Best dressed bear
· Biggest bear
· Best poem about a bear
Bears were judged in South Quad at lunch time. Poems were submitted by e mail to Mr Lovett by the end of the day on Monday.
Andrea King, Tom’s wife, kindly agreed to describe the effects of Alzheimer’s from a personal perspective. She will be talking in Mr Lovat’s lab S8 during Tuesday (7th) lunchtime 1:45 – 2:10. You are all invited to come and learn about what Alzheimer’s is, how it affects people and what can be done to help.
