opening
Nemato Fencing Club was opened by Randall Daniels and his fencers from Christel House School in Cape Town. We were the only Eastern Cape fencing club at that stage.

We started our club without any fencing knowledge. We went to George for a camp to learn more about the sport. Over the years many people helped us to get better at fencing.
