Invicta Fencing Club is a newly formed club based at the Sandwich
Guildhall and features all three weapons (Foil, Epee and Sabre). We
welcome both male and female fencers of all ages, from beginners to
those aspiring towards regional and national competitions.
The
club meets at the Sandwich Guildhall (see 'Finding/Contacting Us') on
Wednesday evenings between 5.30pm and 10.00pm. The club operates all
year round and the current fees are £6 per night (£10 for non members)
for members and a membership fee of £25 per year (including a club
membership pack). Parking at the venue is plentiful and free after 5pm.
All
fencers have an individual lesson from one of the qualified coaches and
are able to train and fence using steam or electric on one of the club
boxes. In addition to individual fencing lessons all members can take
part in group footwork and/or fitness sessions under the guidance of
one of the coaches.
The coaching team comprises of Kate
Morwell-Neave (Foil and Epee) and Grant Dickenson (Sabre). For more
detailed information on either coach please see the 'Coaches' page.
The
club activly promotes fitness through fencing and also offers private
tuition if desired (please contact one of the coaching staff). Tailored
competition programmes are also arranged for fencers wanting to compete
in order to maximise exposure to suitable competitions at appropriate
levels in an effort to further enhance club member's fencing progress.
