MONDAY NIGHT FENCING IS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11 fencers turned out for our first ever SAFC Monday night session, with some great foil & epee action across 3 pistes.

Monday night sessions run from 20.15 to 22.00 in the small gym (see below for membership options).

This is a trial period of 12 weeks initially to gauge interest; if there’s sufficient demand the club will look to continue it.

 

IMPORTANT NEWS: PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING

Unfortunately, the main hall is going to be closed to us for a period of 8 weeks.

  • From 19 May to 07 July inclusive, fencing will be in the small gym instead (see below).

So that means max. 18 fencers / 3 pistes, no group warm-up, coaching or lessons – just sparring.

  • On 02 June the school is completely closed (for the Queen’s Jubilee) so NO FENCING

As a result of the above, we are making the following changes:

Effectively immediately, up to and including 07 July: monthly/quarterly paying members can fence either Mon. or Thurs. or BOTH nights each week, at no extra cost.  Nightly paying members £12 per visit.

From 14 July onwards (when we have access to the main hall again): we will revert to monthly/quarterly fees covering just Thursdays, with Mondays being an additional £6.  Nightly paying members £12 per visit.

 

See you on the piste………….. en garde!  SAFC
