New Blood Needed

I have recently started fencing again. That’s Sword Fencing before the comments start coming in about “I need a new garden fence, how much do you charge?”
It’s been about 12 years since I’ve held a blade in my hand, (Dam, I sound like Julian Clary on Viagra). So needless to say I found it hard to walk for a week after. (God Dam! Sorry I will stop now).

On my first visit I was told that all my ancient kit is now out dated due to EU Safety regulations (have they got their fingers in every pie or what!) and would have to buy new kit or use the clubs, not being the cheapest sport I elected to use the clubs until I can save up and buy my own.
After a lot of breathing in and zips being pushed to their limits I finally squeezed into the required safety fencing clothes.

I had a thoroughly excellent time and have been back every week I could since.
If you would like to give Fencing a try please come along to the club in Herne Bay next to the train station on Monday night at 7pm till 8.15 for children or 8.15 till 10.15 for Adults.

The club will supply all the kit you need.

See you there.
