No Fencing during the school holidays

Sorry for the late communication but just a heads up that there will be no fencing taking place during the school holidays at this stage. I completely lost track of when the school term was ending this time around and it snuck on me.

This means that our first session back at this stage will be Monday the 25th of July. We are having a committee meeting tonight where we will be discussing possible fencing lessons that can take place over the school holidays. 

Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. As usual, if you have any questions or queries regarding this message, please do not hesitate in reaching out to me by emailing huttvalleyfencing@gmail.com.

Monday Training Cancelled 13/06/22

Please note that the usual Monday session will be cancelled tonight due to the bad weather conditions that could make it dangerous for those driving out to training tonight. 

Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause and please pass on the message to your other fencing friends so everyone is aware.

Training Resumes this Week

We hope that you have had a good break over the school holiday period and it was good to see so many keen faces over the training times that we managed to get during the holidays. 

We return to our normal training schedule from this Monday. Our timetable is as follows:

  • Monday (seniors) – 7pm – 9pm
  • Thursday (Juniors and intermediate fencers) – 7pm – 8pm
  • Thursday (Senior fencers) – 7pm – 9pm
  • Saturday (Junior and Intermediate fencers) – 11am – 12.30pm

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about fencing this term. Myself and the Hutt Valley Fencing team look forward to seeing you all this week for training.

School Holiday Fencing

We hope you have enjoyed your Easter break thus far.

We have secured a couple of dates for training over the school holidays for those who are interested in attending.

The first possible training date is Tuesday the 26th of April at Moera Hall. We have a time slot between 12pm – 5pm. Please let me know if you are interested in fencing and what times would suit you best. I would be looking to get both our junior fencers and more seniors fencers along but I would like to try to have these classes separated if possible. 

We also have another training time slot at St Bernards for our attendees of our Monday, Wednesday and Thursday senior class members on Wednesday the 27th of April between 3pm and 8pm. Please let me know again if you would like to attend this session what times between these start and finish times would work best for you.
