 We have always had a policy of Inclusivity and whilst our membership fees are low relative to most clubs, we encourage anyone who would find the fees a barrier to trying out of joining the fencing club to contact Phil Hibbert so that we can help. This is kept confidential between Phil and the Club Welfare Officer.
