TONIGHT 23.10
We’re in the Small Gym due to the main sports hall being set up for exams.
So that means free sparring only ; no group warm up or coaching (coaches are welcome to fence!).
We’ll run 3 full length or 4 short pistes depending on numbers, so please book in as early as possible.
CLUB WHATSAPP GROUP
The Club has a WhatsApp group, which is great for chat about all things fencing and a really handy way to know what’s going on in the club.
If you’d like to join please speak to Bryant or any of the committee
You can join with JD and Rudolf in their dislike of all things Leon Paul, who have a sale on FIE blades & weapons:
BEGINNER COURSE – NEW DATE SET!

YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU!
The best fencing club in the whole universe (well, Hertfordshire at least) does not happen by accident.
It only happens with the help and input from the various members of the Committee. And the club need your help to with the following position:
- CLUB CAPTAIN
Richard R is hanging up the Captain’s armband at the end of 2025.
The Club extends its thanks to RR for his work on the 3C league and getting the Club Ladder up and running and in the fine shape it now is! <more applause>
Can anyone step into his Kempa shoes and take over the running of the Three Counties League, and the Club Ladder (though that pretty much runs itself)
