Child Membership

Please note that we plan on amending the clubs policy on members under 18.

We propose to allow members aged 15 and over to attend, but they must have a responsible adult in attendance at all times.

We appreciate that this makes a bit of a change from previous (if I recall correctly it puts us in the same position the club was in around 2000) and so we would welcome your comments.
Three Counties League (Foil & Epee)

The 2010/11 season's fixtures have just been issued and are shown below. If any member wants to be considered for either weapon at any match please email treasurer@sa-fc.org.uk.
For home matches there can be no doubling up (whereby a fencer can do both weapons), so if there are insufficient volunteers, then the Press Gang procedures will be implemented!

Since we only marginally won the 2009/10 season overall, the opposition will be keen to deny us holding on to the Trophy (still to be received!).

New zipper hoodies


Due to popular demand we are considering purchasing some new zipper hoodies for male and female members of the club. It's going to get colder, so why not purchase one before winter hits us.

Please speak to Helen Turner at the next fencing meet to arrange for your purchase. The zipper design hoodie is show in the image above.

23rd September

Hi All,

Just to let you know there is no fencing on Thursday 23rd September due to a school parents evening, so we'll be convening at the Hare and Hounds pub on Old London Road at 8pm instead.

Hope to see you all there!

Club news

News Update 18 August:

Hope you've all had a good week. Last Thursday saw the return of Coach Liam from his travels and travails in Switzerland, coming third in the Master of Arm's event at the Fencing Master's World Championship. I'm sure we can all appreciate what an achievement this is!

The Open Air is on the Sun 12th Sept (see the news item further down the page) - it would be great to see you there.

Finally, the magic Mr Middleton is producing a show in Hammersmith for the next few weeks. Helen has sent round an email for those who'd be interested in going to see (and Tony has promised a few drinks!) on the following dates:
Tuesday 7th September, Tuesday 14th September or Friday 17th September.

Adult tickets are £15, consessions £12.

Other halves, friends and all welcome.

See you tomorrow!

Open Air & BBQ

Open Air and BBQ - 12 September

Hopefully this will not come as a surprise to everyone who's been along recently, but our annual open air event is rapidly looming over the horizon. If you haven't had an entry form yet it is available here or if you can get to any club evening one of the committee should have a few copies on them.

If this is your first, its a relaxed day to get a bit of fencing in, show the family quite what it is you do on Thursday nights to come back with odd shaped bruises, and then get stuck into a few beers and BBQ afterwards (or during!).
