Fencing Mid-South and Fencing New Zealand invite you to attend the National Secondary School Championships for 2018 to be held at Pioneer Stadium in Christchurch on 7th to 9th September 2018. Please note that entries are due by 29 August.

You must be in Year 9 to Year 13 at a secondary school, correspondence school, or home-schooled to be eligible to compete, and must be affiliated with your region.

A teams event will also be held as part of this competition, with two teams per event, per region able to enter.

This competition is a fantastic opportunity to compete against people you own age, and is typically a very well-attended and fun competition to take part in.

Make sure to talk to a coach if you have any questions about attending.

Full details for the competition are available here.

Welcome back to fencing for term 3. There have been a few changes to sessions for term 3, so please make sure to read through these carefully.

Training Schedule Changes
Unfortunately, low attendance and coach unavailability has necessitated the cancellation of both the Tuesday 6-7pm and Wednesday 7-9pm sessions until further notice. All fencers who attend these sessions are welcome to attend any other sessions during the week. If you would like help determining which session will suit you best, please get in touch.

Please click here for the full list of all sessions for term 3.

Other Notices
While Robert is overseas touring with the Commonwealth fencing team, his sessions will be run by other senior club members. Individual lessons with Robert are cancelled until he returns to NZ. Feel free to speak to another coach about individual lessons in the interim.

There are still spaces available in the high-performance conditioning program held on Saturdays at 9am. Send us an email for more information or to register your interest.

All training for term 3 will resume on Tuesday 24th July.

The New South Wales Fencing Association invites you to attend the conjoined Friendship Cup Teams Championships and Koala Mini Challenge. These events are for U8, U10, U12, and U14 fencers, and are being held at the NSW Fencing Centre in Sydney from 5th to 9th December, 2018.

Full details for this event can be found here.

Due to anticipated low attendance and limited coach availability as a result of the President’s Cup competition this weekend, the decision has been made to cancel the 10.00am class this Saturday (7th July). We apologise for the late notice of this cancellation.

The 9.00am high-performance conditioning will still be on for those who indicated that they would be attending this week.

If you are interested in taking part in the high-performance conditioning program in term 3, please email huttvalleyfencing@gmail.com for more information.

Due to the cancellation of the Saturday session, this evening was the last session of fencing for term 2. Fencing will resume again on Tuesday 24th July for term 3. We hope you all have an enjoyable and relaxing break!

Reminder that entries are open for President’s Cup 2018. This is a national level open event, and is a fantastic opportunity to fence new people and gain a lot of experience. If you are unsure about attending, make sure to talk to your coach.
