Aberystwyth Fencing club was formed in early 2001, at the instigation of our club coaches MUNRO TAYLOR and JEREMY WALKER,we also have two trainee coaches,REBACCA JOHNSTON and OLIVER MASSEY,both very good fencers who contribute to the club greatly. A grant by the County Council enabled us to get regular sessions starting at the Aberystwyth TA Centre and now progressing to a bigger salle at PLAS CRUIG LESIURE CENTRE,and we have since gone from strength to strength. The members range in age from 12 - 70 and gender (though we would like to see more women join the club!!). The club has some very experienced fencers,MUNRO,JEZ,OLIVER,BECCA,HARRY and PAUL who all have fenced for many years,but most of us are beginners or at an intermediate stage.We are affiliated to the Welsh Fencing Association. so why are you still sitting there??? come and join the fun!!!
