To all Newbie Junior Fencers,
We have a planned Friendly Fencing Event with Newington College on next Saturday 02/07/2025 for our Newbie Junior Fencers (all weapons).
Newington will be hosting this event at their Concordia Gallery venue next to their main campus in Stanmore. Students will fence in teams to gain experience with the 45 hit relay format. We anticipate that the time commitment will be approximately 8am to 12pm. Coaching and staffing resources will be allocated to help supervise and manage the event. We may call on volunteer Senior Squad Fencers to assist with mentoring on the day as well.
Please make sure to attend the Development Training session afterschool on Thursday to borrow electric fencing equipment. Please bring a big enough sports bag to carry the additional fencing gear (lame, body wire, weapon).
Newington will be providing morning tea and welcome parents to come support, network and build upon our strong inter-school fencing community.
