The club has a number of excellent coaches, and together we run 6 week adult beginner sessions throughout the year. The beginner classes are ideal for those with no knowledge of the sport. The next beginners course will start on 12 March 2012.





During the beginners course, you will be introduced to the tactics, techniques and rules of fencing working in pairs or with the coach. At the end of each session there will be some free time to have some fencing bouts. New beginners in the junior class are accepted at the start of each half term. Generally, the minimum age we accept for juniors is nine, but we sometimes accept those who are younger from the age of seven, with prior arrangement. If you are interested in joining one of these courses, please contact Gavin Rudge. You may send him an email, or telephone him 0121 355 2715.

What do I need? If you're coming down for the first time, wear sensible sports clothing: White-soled trainers (squash or indoor tennis shoes are ideal) and long tracksuit-type bottoms are a must with open pockets taped up (fencing in shorts is not allowed). Wyndley offers excellent facilities with changing rooms and showers on the premises.

The use of the fencing equipment is covered by costs for the Monday evening. All adult fencers are also required to pay an annual ten pounds BFA Social membership fee for insurance purposes if they are not already a member of the BFA. This is included in the cost of the beginner courses.
