Upcoming Fencing Sessions and Cancellation

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!
