Foil Course Payment

Sabre Course Payment

 

 

 

Important: Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Refunds are not normally available within 7 days of the start of the course. Therefore if you drop out after the start of the course, for any reason, you are unlikely to get a refund. This is due to high demand for the courses as you would be denying somebody else a place.

 

Coaches are fully qualified  - Contact  via the contact page.

 

The course includes learning the basics of fencing with a foil including the safety requirements. The last three weeks will include integration  with other club fencers in  foil, epee and sabre fencing.
