About Our Club/Team/Organisation:

All ages and abilities welcome. Fencing is a sport for everyone. Mae ymladd cleddyfau ar gyfer pawb! Dewch i gadw'n heini a chael hwyl ar yr un pryd. Cyrsiau dechreuwyr yn dechrau bob hanner tymor. Darperir y cit. No, it is not as many have suggested: a sport equipped with posts and hammers. Nor does it require reams of steel mesh, or an unlimited supply of good stout nails. It is instead the ancient sport of Gentlemen; the art of dueling and dashing - the valiant repine of the honorable and the elite… In modern terms it is also an engaging, fast-moving Olympic sport that requires not only athleticism, speed and skill, but also a keen, sharp, intelligence and the kind of logic that only a Sudoku addict could envisage. Fencing really is a sport that anyone can do. I have seen experienced Grannies of over 80 defeating enthusiastic, athletic young men without breaking a sweat. It is a sport that you can begin as young as 6 and that stays with you throughout your life. Friends are easily made and there are social ‘Matches’ as well as competitive ‘Opens’. The Veterans Fencing Association (NVA) is particularly active and often organises dinners and trips abroad, as well as bringing back a large stack of medals from Commonwealth, European and World Championships.
