 Contact: welfare.oufc@gmail.comHey! My name is Audrey, I'm a postgrad student and this is my second year in Oxford. I came back to fencing last year after a three year break, and couldn't be happier with my OUFC experience. I fenced foil and epee for the W2s last year and was welcomed in right away to this wonderful club. I ran for Welfare Rep this year because I wanted to ensure people felt as welcomed and supported as I did when I arrived. If you have any questions or concerns, just drop me a line! Always happy to chat :) Favourite OUFC Memory: The highs and lows of Varsity 2025... lol

       Joshua Nias - Novice SecretaryDegree: BA Ancient and Modern History College: Trinity 
 Weapon: FoilAs the beginners secretary, I believe it is my job to make the club more inviting to the new faces. To that end, I will act as a point of contact between the beginners fencers and the wider fencing club, including the comittee, attempting to answer any questions that beginners have, or connecting them to people who can. Favourite OUFC Memory: I really enjoyed the Beginners Varsity tryouts. Even though I didn't make the team, fencing electrics for the first time was amazing.
