A Change of Scene

Yesterday, instead of attending the N.F.C as per usual, I went to visit another club, which someone had recommended to me. I was a little wary of this, mainly because I wanted to stick with just attending one club. I like the N.F.C. This club, however, was not how I expected it to be. There were only about fifteen members, and they were all quite young. The session got underway with a warm-up, which I was expecting. However, I was not expecting to be continuing with it half an hour later. This is not an exaggeration either! The fencing then got underway, and it was just about free for all. It was basically grab someone, monopolize a piste, and fence away. I was amazed by the standard there. I was probably the only person there who didn't have a ranking. Although I was beaten several times, I managed to score at least two points off everyone, and even win four of my matches. I found it a great experience, but I will stick with the N.F.C. From this, I would say that everyone should break the routine every now and then with a change of scene.
