Additional Fencing Sessions - Club Training Times

Additional Fencing Sessions - Club Training Times

A number of WAFA fencers have expressed an interest in taking part in additional fencing sessions at other clubs, with the aim of increasing their fencing experience (and the experience of other fencers that they join in with).

If you are interested in visiting these other clubs (in addition to your own club's fencing sessions) then please find details of other WAFA affiliated clubs as follows
Most clubs do not charge for occasional visitors. If you intend to visit another club regularly then a fee may apply for these frequent visits, please discuss with the club.
Fencers visiting a club for the first time should make themselves known to the club coaches and/or officials.
Visitors are expected to comply with safety requirements of the club they are visiting.
Visitors are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner and should not interfere with club training sessions or monopolize club equipment for their sole use.
Visitors must be affiliated to WAFA or similar to ensure appropriate insurance cover.
Only details for WAFA affiliated clubs in the metro area have been provided below.
