Scottish Open 2022
Scottish Fencing has announced that the date for next year's Scottish Open will be the weekend of 26th/27th February 2022.
As in recent years, the event will be held at the National Sports Centre Inverclyde, Burnside Road, Largs KA30 8RW.
Training Restart
GWEFC will open for training again at 7:30 pm on Thursday 14th Oct at the ARC Building, Cally Uni. Please do not arrive too early to allow for Social Distancing.
There will be no changing facilities or showers available, so come dressed ready for training. We will be concentrating on getting people back to fencing fitness – that means footwork and bladework – but there will be some fighting on the box available too.
Everyone must wear COVID face coverings in common areas within the ARC and when not actively exercising.
