COURSES
If you wish to try fencing, we operate a number of courses throughout the year. The first lesson is a free taster session which introduces you to fencing. Adults and children can learn a little history about fencing, dress in the clothing and try some moves themselves. For younger children (6 years and over), the club have a set of foam training swords with which they can learn in safety without wearing all of the normal safety equiment.

If you enjoy your first taste of fencing or are returning to the sport, you can then join one of our courses held throughout the year (check the calendar for more information about the start dates for each of the disciplines and courses).

The courses are ideal for most people - whether you are male or female, right or left handed, child (6 years and over) or adult. It is even possible to learn with certain disabilites. Please contact a coach if you have any special requirements.

WEEKLY FEES
If you are not attending a class, Members and Ad-hoc fencers wishing to use the equipment and facilities are welcome to visit. Fees are paid at the start of the session.

* The club operates a cash and direct debit service. If you wish to only pay cash, the nightly fees are £6.00 (adults)/£4.00 (juniors). If you pay by direct debit, your annual and nightly fees are all included in one monthly payment.
Please note the cash only fees work out more expensive if you are a regular attendee.
