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.

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.
