All our membership fees include kit hire and coaching. That is, you can but won't need to bring your own kit and we will offer the opportunity to improve your skill. We have two Men’s and Women’s team in the BUCS Leagues (the inter-university league), so whether you want to fence competitively or for recreation, this club is for you! The annual club membership fee is £55. 

Our weekly training sessions take place in the sports centre on:

• Mondays 20:00-22:00
• Thursdays 18:00-20:00
• Sundays 15:30-18:00

Matches take place on Wednesdays with alternating home and away matches (first teams' travel costs funded by the club). Coaching at Lancaster University Fencing club is held in high regard. For instance, our Foil and Epee coach is Mike Thornton, a Cat B FIE Referee. Beyond coaching our training sessions provide a lot of opportunity to improve your skills beyond advice from senior fencers within the club. For instance, Sunday session includes a 30mins joint footwork session across all weapons where you will improve your technique, build strength and coordination to bring the two together. 

Overall, our trainings provide a great atmosphere for a mixture of competitive training and fun. So come along and join us! 

Our Novice Course sessions (for complete beginners) run through all fo first term every Saturday 12:00-14:00pm.
