Our Fencing Equipment

For Beginners

We have enough basic kit to run a class of up to 16 beginners. Basic kit is :

• mask
• foil
• jacket
• plastron (inside chest protector)
• glove

If you are a beginner, then you normally need only bring :

• sports shoes or gym trainers (with non-marking soles)
• lose-fitting jogging trousers
• T-shirt

For Experienced Fencers

We have enough electric scoring boxes, ground wires & spools to set up and run 6 - 8 fencing pistes. Full member and visiting fencers (i.e. those not on the beginners course) are expected to provide their own kit (electric weapons, body wires, jacket, breeches, mask & lames).

All fencers using electrical weapons are required to wear fencing breeches. These are not provided by the Club.

The sports centre has good changing rooms with showers and a small car park.
