Rye have cancelled our club session on Tuesday 12th December on account of the snowy weather. Our next (and final) session before Christmas is on Tuesday 19th December.

We will be holding our monthly one-hit epee evening on 14th November during the regular club session. This is a fun epee continuum where you fight for first point with the winner of each bout staying on until they are defeated. It’s great practice for winning crucial points and trains you not to rush in.

Everyone’s welcome, even if you’ve never held an Epee before – beginners luck can be a wonderful thing!

We have special fencing socks with the club logo embroidered on the back for sale. These are comfy, stretchy socks with a padded section at the front to alleviate hits on your legs and a padded sole.

The socks are white with a dark blue logo embroidered on the rear. Two sizes are available: medium (size 3-6) and large (size 6-11). The socks cost £8 per pair, or two pairs for £15. Please email chairmanofc@yahoo.com if you’d like to purchase some socks and we will arrange to bring them along to the club to pick-up.

As in previous years, our summer training sessions will move to Radley College sports centre from Tuesday 4th July. Please note that there will only be Tuesday sessions from 8pm to 10pm, no Fridays. The final session at Radley will be Tuesday 22nd August, and we return to regular Tuesday and Friday sessions at Rye St. Antony in Headington from Tuesday 29th August.

If you don’t own your own kit, please arrange with a committee member to take away a jacket, mask and plastron for the summer since we will only take electric boxes and weapons to Radley. See below for directions.
