Our club sessions run on Monday nights in Mayfield School (please note, junior and senior sessions take place in separate rooms). Our calendar follows the school opening dates, which can be found here (look for the Term Dates tab); though there are occasional exceptions which will be announced via our mailing list and social media accounts.

COVID19
Please do not attend if you or one of your household are experiencing flu-like symptoms. We will need to mark your attendance when you arrive but the need to book sessions in advance has been discontinued.
Juniors
Children from 8-15 can join one of the Junior sessions, which are sabre classes taught by Prof. Andrew Norris.
Our junior classes are in high demand, particularly the early class. We therefore operate a waiting list, and allocate spaces as they come up to the people on that list in order of when they applied. You can request addition to our waiting list on this page.
Seniors
Our senior session caters for all three weapons, for anyone 15 or over (members aged 13+ may be permitted to come in to the senior session with the coach’s permission). Beginner classes for foil are run by Gordon Daniels, and coaching in other weapons is also available.
What should I wear? Do I need to buy fencing gear?
We provide equipment for people to borrow during club nights. Beginners should wear:
- Indoor sports shoes (e.g. squash/badminton shoes)
- T-shirt
- Tracksuit bottoms/long leggings (not shorts)
You should also bring a water bottle. After 6 months to a year we will start encouraging you to look at getting your own kit.
British Fencing membership is required
It is now a requirement to be a member of British Fencing. A free “introduction” membership is available for new starters, which lasts for 90 days. Registration and information on all the available types of membership can be found on the British Fencing website. If you need any clarification, please send us an email or ask during the session, and we will be happy to help you identify the correct choice.
