In the 1970's a relationship developed between the Fencing Clubs of Mülheim and Darlington. It is not known why or when this ended, but it would be good to resurrect this as both towns again have such clubs.
We would be delighted to add to this item if anyone has further information.
See photos in gallery which were supplied by Bob Watson and relate to competitions held in both towns during the early 70's.
