Coaches this term

I am pleased to say that Reka Gemesi Collins has agreed to join us this term, coaching alongside Brian Robinson who has coached at the GFC since 2015.

Reka is a British Fencing registered coach with a level 5 qualification at all three weapons.  She has been coaching in England for over 5 years, although she learned to fence and to coach in Hungary.  She and Brian will be coaching at both the 6:30PM and 8PM sessions.

If you are at the 8PM session, please write your name on the whiteboard if you would like a one-on-one lesson, subject to availability.

New term underway

The authum term has started, and attendance has been good.  If you have fenced before, you do not need to book in every week, but please complete an enrolment form and send it with the fees - details are on the form:  Word (.doc) Acrobat (.pdf). This of course includes all fencers who were on the beginners course last year.

As the requirements relating to Covid have changed, you do not need to book online every week.  However, if at all possible please give an e-mail address on the form, so we can notify cancellations.

Any epee or sabre fencers who used to attend at 6:30PM should now come at 8PM instead please (or, you could continue to come at 6:30 but fence foil).  This is because there were, unfortunately, too few epee and sabre fencers at this time.  We very much regret any difficulties this causes to travel arrangements etc.

All the other session times are unchanged.
