Hutt Valley Fencing Club Holiday Program October 2024

Due to strong demand, there is now a wait list for the Holiday Program.

We are pleased to announce an up coming holiday program for beginner fencers over the school holidays. It is a great chance for friends and family members to try out a new sport over the holidays. At the end of the second session there will be a mini tournament and participants can try out electric fencing, just like at the Olympics.

This holiday program is suited for future fencers 7 and up. No experience required. All fencing equipment is provided for a safe and fun time.

It will be held October 2nd and 3rd, 9am to 12pm at Upper Hutt College, Moonshine Road Upper Hutt.

The program is $90 for both days. Save $10 for early registrations and $10 off per extra family member.

This is a great chance for kids who don’t enjoy team sports to give something new a go. Fencing is a wonderful way to improve fitness, build resilience and make new friends.
