WAFA is trying to encourage the female fencers of WA to compete. To foster this competition environment WAFA has organised a whole day dedicated to it! We'd love all the ladies of the club to compete in this competition! Even enter weapons that aren't your own. Also gentlemen to volunteer as referees would be excellent too!
Another part of this female fencing day is for beginners. So if you have any friends that you could coerce into giving the sport a go please bring them along!

Enquiries for Beginner Courses

All enquiries for Beginner Courses

Until early August 2012, whilst every attempt will be made to answer enquiries promptly, there may be some delays.

For those interested in joining a course the most important information is as follows:

• Beginner Courses are for 13 years to adult.
• If you are 12 or under, you may like to attend the Bladez classes (no Beginner Course required)
• The seven-week course costs $85 payable by cash or cheque at the first session.
• It will be possible to arrange an internet banking transfer if necessary.
• Please turn up 10 minutes prior to the first session so that we can take your contact details and payment.
• Please wear track pants and decent gym shoes.
• The Wednesday course is a repeat of the Saturday course - if you wish to attend both Saturdays and Wednesdays, there will be no extra cost.
• If you decide to continue fencing as a sport after the Beginners Course, you will be required to join the club with an annual membership at current prices. The $85 you have already paid will be deducted from your membership fee.
• You are welcome to come to the club during any session prior to the course to have a look, chat to a coach, and take in the atmosphere.

Thanks,
Gillian Kings-Lynne
Club Secretary, ECU Cavalier School of Fencing
