Dear Members,
The safety of our community is our number one priority therefore the club is temporarily closed. We are planning for a September start, if the situation allows.
At this point we are still waiting for updates from our governing body; British Fencing, to give us official regulations.
Please check our website regularly as new information will be added accordingly. Meanwhile, please register your interest for joining us from September on info@knightsbridgefencingclub.com.
You can find the latest updates on Covid19 guidance here: https://www.britishfencing.com/covid-19-latest-news/
Please note at this stage you need to use your own fencing equipment as we are not allowed to provide club equipment. You can order it online from the below brands:

We have cleaning, handwashing and hygiene procedures in line with guidance

We are taking all reasonable steps to maintain a 2m distance; no flashing the opponent, no handshaking, no shouting during bouts, no close combat.
