BEGINNERS FENCING COURSES AT NEWBURY & DISTRICT FENCING CLUB.

We run 8 week beginner courses during each school term.

Please note: we introduced an enrollment process and waiting list. Please click here for details of how to enroll, and why we have changed the process. 

Status of upcoming courses

  We operate a waiting list. Contact us now to reserve your future place, and we will confirm and keep you informed of progress.

Our courses are taught by Matthew Thompson, a fully qualified British Fencing Association coach.

The fee is £85 which covers

• Social Membership of the British Fencing Association (includes insurance)
• 8 weeks of tuition
• Your own fencing glove
• Use of club equipment for all other needs
• Membership of the club for the remainder of the term after your course

We accept beginners of any age from 8 years old upwards. However, numbers are limited to 12, and we allocate places on a first come first served basis. 

After completing the course, your beginner's status means you can fence with the club until the end of that term. After that, you can decide whether to join Newbury & District Fencing Club as a full member. You can also have a crack at your British Fencing Association Grade 1 Examination if you wish.

If you have any questions, or wish to apply, please contact us.
