Hutt Valley Fencing Club is a not-for-profit organisation and incorporated society, run by a committee of volunteers and a dedicated coaching team.
Achievements
We took part in the Wellington Airport and Community awards in 2022 where we won our category, Hutt City – Sport & Leisure.
Hutt Valley Fencing Club are affiliated through Fencing Central to Fencing New Zealand, the body responsible for all fencing in New Zealand.
Our fencers compete regularly in local, national, and international competitions. Each year we have a number of young fencers travel to competitions in Australia. Great fun and experience.
