Those of you that know me may well have heard me mention my love of fencing. I vistied my club last night, the Lansdowne Club in Mayfair http://www.lansdowneclub.com/ Needless to say the standard of fencing was high as was the wine and company afterwards.

Fencing in the photographs are Tony Bartlett (R) The current World Vetran Silver Medalist (Foil) which he aquired in Sidney Australia towards the end of last year and Paul Standing.

The person in black in the second photograph is Prof Ziemek Wojciechowski the current British Olympic Team Coach.

To quote the blurb "The Landsowne club was founded in 1935 Set in the heart of Mayfair, just off Berkeley Square, the Lansdowne Club is a Private Members Club, where men and women have always been welcomed with equal status. A haven of tranquillity, where 18th century grandeur and stylish Art Deco meet 21st century vitality. Perfect for relaxation, recreation and business, the Lansdowne Club offers an unrivalled range of facilities including accommodation, sports and social events."

A popular location for television, the swimming pool in particular has featured in Hotel Babylon http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/hotelbabylon/ and Poirot.
