The cost of the course is £90 and takes a maximum of eighteen adults on a first-come first-served basis. The course is 7 weeks in total plus 3 weeks free 'trial' membership with the club and includes one year's social membership with the
British Fencing Association (BFA). Once the dates are fixed the course will be made up of the first people who reply and pay the course fee. If you would like to put your name down for the next course or see if there is a space on the next course
contact the club SecretaryInstruction starts with a 1-hour lesson starting at 8pm. The second hour is free, during which time you are welcome to join the other club members in 'free play', have a private one to one lesson with a coach or learn to use another weapon. You will need to wear trousers that will stretch a bit; tracksuit bottoms are ideal, and a t-shirt. Trainers should not have black soles as these will mark the Gym floor. You should also bring something to drink, as it can be thirsty work.
To book your place please
contact the Club Secretary for an application form using the
webform. Please note that it is expected that beginners who continue fencing after the end of the course will purchase a pair of breeches (approximately £45) so as to use the electrical equipment. This is in order to comply with recently improved
clothing regulations.
