We’re in the small gym this week, so unfortunately that means NO BEGINNERS COURSE, but normal service resumes next Thursday, 24th Nov.
Being in the small gym means no group warm up or coaching and we ask all fencers to heed the following:
Please remember that there is less room in the small gym. We will be arranging pistes in the most space efficient way, but please be mindful of what is going on around you, for your own safety and that of others.

And finally…. MONDAY NIGHTS: THE FUTURE…?
Whilst the trial of Monday fencing has been extended into the New Year, its future is dependant on critical mass. Some nights we’ve had good numbers on the piste, on others, not so much.
If there aren’t enough fencers to make it worthwhile for others to turn up, it is likely we will not be able to justify running two evenings. So use it or loose it.
See you on the piste…. en garde! SAFC
