Competitive fencing
We aim to support all fencers, no matter their competitive interests.
As well as providing individual coaching for those with their sights on Opens and A-Grades, we run competitions throughout the year for those with more modest goals.
Being affiliated to the Hertfordshire Fencing Association, we encourage our members to take part in events run by HFA, be those novices' events, senior championships, or team competitions. (When possible, we cover entry fees for team events.)

Under normal circumstances, we run the following events:
Club Ladder is for any club member and runs every week. An informal, three weapon competition with varying formats and quarterly prizes.
Three Counties Championship runs throughout the year and features clubs from Herts, Beds and Bucks competing at foil and epee. A Sabre league is also planned for the future.
