Competition Support Hitchin Juniors and Seniors Competitions

This is one of the competitions that we will provide a support coach and club equipment for back up on the day.

This is NOT your entry to the competition itself. You must enter the competition via the link given in our WhatsApp messages or other club documents.

this is a great opportunity for our fencers to try out competitions and offers two events - our younger fencers can fence in the junior competition and our older fencers who can enter the senior event.

Generally we will provide support if 4 or more fencers book. If fewer book we may need to cancel support on the day and will fully refund your fee. We will of course help with any spare kit you may need although if you fence at competitions regularly, we should only be lending you emergency back up.

The times stated will NOT reflect the time you must check in to the competition or the time you will finish - you must check all this with the competition organisers. The club coach will be at the completion from the arrival of our first fencer until the last of our fencers finishes fencing.

We have amended the price of coach support to reflect the travel and time coaches spend at competitions and their potential lost income for 1-2-1 lessons. Please remember the price here includes all purchase fees and is what you pay - nothing added at the end!

Bring all fencing kit including two working and weight tested foils and two body wires - you should have these if you attend competitions regularly otherwise we can lend them to you. The coaches will have spare wires and foils all tested and working.

If you need to borrow anything else from us or are unsure about anything please make sure you contact Sarah or Carina and arrange it at least a week before.

We will create a WhatsApp group several weeks before to collate all info and let you know which coach will support.

Please be aware that as coaches we don’t receive ANY information before or on the day except published public info. We know which days you are fencing on and at what time BUT if there are any late bits of info sent to competitors please let us know via the WhatsApp.
