The Grex results!

 

Three members of The Flaming Bagels holding their team pennant and trophy, dressed in fencing whites and grinning from ear to ear! The trophy is so damned cool – it’s based on the idea of a flock and slime that The Grex is based on (you have to know to know), and is comprised of several organic shapes of light and dark wood connected by black metal rods – it sort of looks like a map. Designed and made by the marvellous Dr J. But back to the team – they worked hard and totally deserve this victory!

2021 was the inaugural year of The Grex – MFC's unique competition designed by alessandra to reward team improvement. After a tally of all the teams' points across the year, tonight victory was claimed by The Flaming Bagels!

Pictured here is half of The Flaming Bagels accepting the team's award – check out that wonderful trophy designed and made by the amazing Dr Jo, check out that pennant designed by the team and sewn with OTT victory trim chosen by Michelle, and check out the triumphant joy!

Points were earned throughout 2021, through team members improving their individual placings in their best two out of three rounds of the MFC Richard Emmerick Shield, plus bonus points for fencing additional weapon/s, plus points for victories in external comps. To reward collective improvement, each team also earned an intra-team bonus based on how similar the improvement of its members was. With thanks to Imogen's mad maths skills in designing and writing the equations which enabled these pretty complex calculations!

As you can see from the results summary below, it was a close competition – well done to all the teams for your hard work, enthusiasm and collaboration!
