Please be aware that we are still awaiting confirmation from St Bernards as to whether we can train on Thursday. If fencing does go ahead, we will be finishing at 7.30 pm rather than the usual 9.00 pm finish. This means that we will only be running our Junior class.
However, we invite everyone interested to join us at the Victorian Tavern in Petone to celebrate the achievements and strides made thus far this year. Please let us know by Wednesday evening whether you are interested in joining us and how many people will come with you.
You can email us your interest at huttvalleyfencing@gmail.com.
Due to the Easter Weekend, we will not have training this Saturday morning. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause but we wish you all a happy Easter.
We will be taking a two week break over the school holiday, as normal. For our younger fencers, we will be running a holiday program on Wednesday the 12th of April. If you are interested in participating, please fill out the form below.
Have you or someone you know wanted to learn to fence? Look no further than The Hutt Valley Fencing “Learn To Fence” holiday program.
This course aims to engage new people with the sport of Fencing through an introductory 1-day course. You will be learning how to stand en-guard, how to move like a fencer, and learn how to make a hit without being hit. You will then put it all together in a free fencing electric bout. All of this will be taught in an engaging fashion with many games to get you to think like a fencer.
