Easing restrictions means more fencing
At last we can enjoy getting back to the sport we love, albeit with a few COVID restrictions still in place.
- Proof of double vaccination remains a requirement for everyone over the age of 16 except if you have medical exemption document
- Respect social distancing of 1.5m
- Sanatise your hands upon entry and before leaving
- Do not train if you have symptoms or feel unwell. Instead get tested and rest.
- Do not share equipment
NEW TIMETABLE as we move away from strict COVID restrictions
Changes to restrictions means we can operate a bit more freely and return some of our 'change over time' back into 'fencing time'. We have also increased the number of kids training sessions and removed an underutilised general age group session. We'll be tracking the effects of these changes for the rest of the year as we continue to seek to improve our services where we can.

Recruitment for 2022
April 2022
2022 has seen another fantastic surge of interest in fencing and both our SENIOR and JUNIOR Beginner's programs are FULL. We will be accepting more beginners in Term 2, 2022 from April 26th. This group however will likely be the last group for the year as we are experiencing a high level of begginers continuing into regular training and this in turn is placing pressure on regular training session space.
While we are always passionate about welcoming more people into fencing we have to restrict numbers to maintain a quality training environment and opportunites for our members, as well as ensure a happy and safe environment for all involved.
If you are considering try fencing with us then I recommend you get in early for a place in term 2. First lesson is FREE to make sure you like the sport and appreciate our club style and environment.
National Championship Hat Trick
Congratulations to Lidor Shay on her National Veteran Women's Foil 2021 Championship victory, making 3 Championship titles back to back for the Championship Hat Trick. Despite COVID training interruptions Lidor continues to show increasing skill and improvements as she enthusiastically pursues the National fencing scene. Winning 3 years in a row is no easy feat and our veteran women's competition continues to develop in quality but Lidor's passion for her sport and competitive spirit rise to the occasion each time and in no small part thanks to the support of her team mates and the other Victorian ladies. Congratulations Lidor and good luck in 2022!
