“Experienced fencers” - including visitors

 

If you are an 'experienced' fencer (not necessarily very experienced!) of any age group and wish to join or visit (so, no need for a beginners' course) you're welcome at any time. We prefer you to contact us in advance to arrange the formalities (see "How to join" main page for the process) and, if nothing else, to ensure that we are not closed for any reason. See below for how to contact us.

You DO need to have current British Fencing membership (or other NGB), before you start fencing. This is FREE for the first 90 days, if you haven't previously been a member so no additional cost is involved.

See the British Fencing website and select "Starter"from the membership options given.

If you have previously been a member at a higher level, sorry, but you will have to renew at at least "Recreational" level and pay. Note that if it is over 12 months since your membership lapsed, you will need to PHONE BF, in order to start the re-joining process If it is decades, then the system will have forgetten you and you follow the process as if a begnner.

​

In addition, you do have to complete our member registration form. We have shortened version for visitors. We will provide the form when you contact us, along with other information.

By the way, even if it's a zillion years since you fenced and it was only on a beginners' course somewhere, you probably still don't need to do one again.
We're happy to discuss what you need to do get back into fencing.
