2. Club newspaper articles

The club first began to get coverage in the local papers when the late Nigel Pearson became the Sports Editor of the Stourbridge News.  There was some increase in willingness to cover sports other than the big professional ones at the time. Known to the now club Chairman, Peter Baron, Nigel was happy to publish the reports that were sent in and started with a big general spread about the club with a large photo. A couple of subsequent editors were equally happy to continue to publish reports and regular reports continued for some 20 years from that start in 1984, particularly in the News, although the Chronicle was also willing to put in articles, although not quite as regularly. Then, a new editor was appointed,  who was only interested in major sports and after 2004 the number of reports tailed off.

Recently found newspaper articles/documents not originated by the club (pdf)

•  The West Midlands Region (Section as then called) AGM minutes of 1959, showing that the club existed as early as then Here

• A Birmingham Mail cutting from 1977, of which no-one in he club was aware until 2024. Soon after the revival of the club, it was about complaints within Dudley Coucil over "grants to 'well-heeled clubs'". At the time we would have been having (amateur) coaches expenses paid and a small equipment grant each year. Shows the attitude to fencing with the unsubstantiated reference to being well heeled. Here
