Louis Gosling
President
he/him
I’m a 2nd year History and Politics student, excited to be returning for my second year on the Warwick Fencing Exec as President having served as Men’s Team Captain during our title winning campaign last year. Entering what will be my 9th year of fencing next year, I have been fortunate to compete at every level of the sport from county to international, the highlight of which was earning my GB patches in October 2019. I have also, in the past, captained both my school and regional sides and am a qualified 3-weapon referee. I am so looking forward to leading the club this coming year, as we continue to grow this fantastic club into both a superb sporting environment and a fun and engaging social space.

Hiya, I’m Sophie, a second year English and Theatre student here at Warwick. I’ve been fencing sabre for over 12 years; competing on the national and international circuits, and now on the Women's First Team here.
I’m so excited to be on the Warwick Fencing Exec for a third year, reprising my role as Vice-President, and running our social media again as Publicity Officer. You'll be hearing from me a lot, whether that be through club weekly emails, replies to DMs, or our brand new TikTok account!
I absolutely love this club and its community, and can't wait for another year of fun with competitions and socials <3

I’m Louis, a first year Accounting & Finance student. I’ve been fencing for thirteen years, with epee as my primary weapon. My goal as treasurer for this year is to ensure the financial sustainability of the club, all whilst ensuring we provide a fun and environment for all levels of experience. I’ve also had the privilege of serving in the team, and I hope we can keep our upwards trajectory this year. Keep an eye out for my memes in the club’s weekly emails!

Hi! I’m Colin, a first year PPE student. I’ve been fencing for 11 years in both epee and foil. I have always loved the thrill of the game and hope to share the excitement to everyone. I look forward to getting members involved in BUCS matches and help them reach their full potential.
Sopida Wongwas
Welfare and Inclusion Officer
she/her
Hi everyone! I'm Sopida. In the 2023/24 academic year, I'll be in my 4th year of PhD doing Synthetic Biology. I started fencing in October 2022 and have been a consistent participant ever since. I discovered a new sport that I enjoy, and I made many friends from fencing. I want the club to be inclusive and nice to everyone, and I want to make sure that everyone has access to develop their fencing skills. If you have any issues concerning your studies, health, or club activities. Feel free to talk to me 🙂
Evan Little
Competitions Officer,
Social Secretary
he/him
Hi! I'm Evan, a 3rd Year Maths Student. After being Treasurer for 2 years, I'm returning to the exec (again) as both Competitions Officer and Social Sec. I've been heavily involved in running our amazing competitions over the last 2 years, and I'm really excited to be leading the effort on this year's competitions. I look forward to getting our members the best opportunities to compete, through our Novice Competition for newer fencers, the Warwick Open for more experienced and developing fencers, and even through organising trips to opens nationally (and maybe even internationally!). More than that though, I want to give all the members the best possible experience of the club generally - including through the (more numerous than ever!) socials coming up next year.
