Welcome to the new website for Celtic Sword Club.

We are new and different, catering for people from 8 to 80 of all abilities.

However we would like to attract back some of the hundreds of people who have fenced in Swansea before but who have dropped out for whatever reason. Why not give us a try?

All,


We start back next week on 1st September for the new season.

It promises to be an interesting one with the prospect of a couple of matches against other clubs and the start of the new Welsh Fencing competition season. Last year we won almost 30 medals, this year we want more!

The new club fee structure starts from 1st September along with our unrepeatable £20 fencing jacket offer (members only)!

If anyone does not intend to return for the new season could they let Steve or Gareth know as we currently have a waiting list, but we hope to see you ALL again.

The young fencers from the club, all did very well from the youngest of 9 to the "old hands" of 15!

We have put Celtic Sword club on the map again!


Thanks to all of you and to your parents for being drivers and carrying the bags!

Learn to fence in a day!! PDF Print E-mail
Written by ONE DAY FENCING WORKSHOP   
Thursday, 17 September 2009 19:17

We are planning a few Saturday all day workshops to teach people who have never fenced before the basics to enable them to join our club or one of the others in South Wales and fence!

We are now taking names for the first course planned for Saturday November 28th 2009. It will consist of one full day of instruction with a number of coaches available( depending on course numbers). We aim to teach people "straight off the street" of all ages ( 9 years and over) to fence in a day!

The course will cost £25 including insurance for the whole year! 

We will use the experience we have gained in our 5x60 sessions to teach a small number of students in a very intesive way.

The course will start at 9:00 am and with frequent breaks and a lunch in the centre cafe, by 4:30 we will have made fencers of you all! We will use videos to show you what you are doing wrong as well as show examples of fencing on the big screen during your coffee breaks!

Bring a packed lunch and a drink or money to buy food in the cafe, you will be supervised at all times even over lunch and during the breaks!

You will get plenty of practice fencing with the others on the course during the afternoon!

The course will be FUN but it is not a play scheme, it will need commitment and concentration. It will will use real swords not toys and is conducted by fully qualified and experienced fencing coach.

We are lucky to have a purpose made facility with a cafe on site to offer this unique experience. Advertising will start in the next week or two, so get in quickly!

 

Ring Steve on 01792 369539 for details, for insurance purposes we will need all names in advance accompanied by a non refundable deposit of £10 to cover insurance through British Fencing for the whole year!
