Spotlight on... Jane Clayton
Jane Clayton is a founder member, committee member and senior coach of Mallard Fencing Club, Herne Bay, Kent. Mallard Fencing Club evolved some twenty-six years ago from Canterbury Fencing Club, which was then an adult evening class and as such ran only during term times. A group of members, keen to develop fencing and ensure its future in the area decided to form their own club that would be able to operate independently and offer all-year-round fencing to a wider membership, including juniors.
