Joining Custodians Fencing Club.

The following is general guidance for joining the Custodians Fencing club for the start of a new course.

To join the club, membership is by the way of a joining fee that incorporates the buying of a piece of protective clothing called a plastron. This plastron will be yours to keep. You will then pay £2 per session at the reception of the Castle Sports Complex where you will be issued with a receipt.

Prices start from £15 for juniors £19 for seniors. Payment is required in advance and preferably by cheque made payable to the Custodians Fencing Club. This payment goes through the Clubs books and is easier to administer than cash. No profit is made to the club, plastrons are bought at cost from suppliers.

At any time you feel fencing is not for you, the Club will offer to buy the plastron back off you, to sell on to the next course. With this in mind if you are interested in a good second hand plastron rather than a new plastron, please ask for availability.

You must register with me prior to turning up for the registration. As spaces are limited this will be recognised as your act of commitment to joining the club at this time.

Junior members are taught on a continuous rolling programme, not restricted to a six weeks course.

Parents / Guardians are welcome / encouraged to stay and watch. There is a bar in the sports complex for those that do not wish to sit and watch the whole time. This is run by J2 catering.  www.j2catering.co.uk

Parents / Guardians are automatically registered as associate members and are able to buy / wear Custodians Fencing Club Merchandise.

To register your initial interest then contact me through the link option BlademasterGBR@aol.com and I will be pleased to answerer any queries.

You can also find more details about the club on this web page www.custodiansfencingclub.co.uk

Thank you for your Interest.

Andie Bayston Club Coach.
