The North West Region is pleased to offer to all interested fencers a training day to be held on Sunday 22nd May 2016 from 11am to 5pm at the Manchester Fencing Centre.
This training session is designed to show you techniques to help you make successful hits on the piste, so is useful for all fencers, whatever their abilities.
It is being offered a week before the NW Regionals, for those who are interested in taking part in that event, but it is only 2 weeks from the Veterans Age Group Qualifiers so is ideally timed for that too!
