Wednesday Nights

We all know Sunday is our main club day, but we also fence on Wednesday nights, it’s just a fight night, excellent for just regular fencing and practicing the skills you learned on Sunday.  You can come on a PAYG basis or incorporate it in your Standing Order if you come regularly.

For those fencing on Sundays, as you have had a couple of weekends without any fencing, please feel free to join us this week on the 3rd 7 pm-9 pm.  There will be no charge (if you pay by PAYG normal rates will apply).

Adult Course

If any friends or family have been jealous of your fencing or expressed an interest, we are starting our next adult (14 and over) course on 17th January, a 6 week course, 7-8pm for 6 Wednesdays.  They can register their interest here.

And finally, we wish you all a very Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Ashley, Claire, Della, Gordon, Lewis and Simon.
