<h1>Oxford Fencing Club Taster Session</h1>
<p>Come and try out the fun, exciting sport of Fencing at this taster session with Oxford Fencing Club. The session will last about one and a half hours and will be directed by the club coaches to give you an idea of what a beginner’s course will be like. You will be shown the basics in footwork as well as having a chance to try the equipment. <br />
<br />
This is ideal for adults and juniors who are interested in fencing but are not sure if they want to sign up for the eight week beginner’s course. The cost for the session is £16 payable in advance by credit card or bank transfer. <br />
<br />
A group who attended a recent taster commented: <br />
<em>"Thanks for Friday night. We had a good time and were all surprised just how difficult it is just to stand correctly let alone move forward and back. Please pass on our thanks to the two chaps who tried to show us what to do, it must have felt like trying to pin jelly to a wall!" </em><br />
<br />
This session will be open to adults and juniors (minimum age 8) and all you need to bring is some exercise clothing (e.g. tee shirt, track suit bottoms and non-marking trainers) plus some water. Everything else will be provided.</p>

<h1>Before the Session:</h1>
<p><strong>Everyone who will remaining on the school site for the duration of the session MUST have a ticket, even if you are not going to be taking part in the session. </strong>Parents/carers who are dropping off fencers and then leaving do not need a ticket. We will have to turn away anyone who has not booked a place.</p>
<p>Tickets are available from 10:00am on the day of the session, and will be on a first-come first-served basis. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before booking, please read the club COVID instructions on the main website: <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/31/club-session-information-2/">https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/31/club-session-information-2/</a> and ensure that you're familiar with the current risk assessment <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/17/covid-risk-assessment/">https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/17/covid-risk-assessment/</a></p>

<h1>Club Equipment</h1>
<p>We have a limited amount of club equipment, and will be allocating it to members who need to borrow it and the beginners course. If you need to use club equipment, there are some extra things to know.</p>
<p>First, you must indicate that you need club kit when you choose a ticket for the session.</p>
<p>Second, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening. This might mean that you're not happy with your particular choice of kit but it is the only way that we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of finding something that fits.</p>
<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<h1>Club Equipment</h1>
<p>We have a limited amount of club equipment, and will be allocating it to members who need to borrow it and the beginners course. If you need to use club equipment, there are some extra things to know.</p>
<p>First, you must indicate that you need club kit when you choose a ticket for the session.</p>
<p>Second, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening.

<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<p> </p><h1>Learn to Fence</h1>
<p>Our courses for beginners (minimum age 8) are led by James Kingston, a qualified British Fencing Association coach registered with England Fencing. The course lasts for 8 weeks (with a break for Easter) and takes place in the sports centre of Rye St Antony School: see <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/contact-us/" target="_blank">location</a>. </p>
<p>An attendee at one of our recent courses commented <em>"We were all instantly welcomed, and each leasson became the highlight of my week, and great value for money ... It was a great introduction to the sport, and I managed to make a lot more progress than I initially predicted, and will definitely be continuing."</em></p>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>COVID Safety</h2>
<p>As part of our COVID safety protocols, we must restrict the number of people present in the sports hall. This means that all attendees at a session including parents/guardians must book a place. For this reason, we request that younger fencers bring only one adult with them to a session so that there is sufficient space for everyone else. We will contact you before the course starts to confirm whether this will apply to you.</p>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>Fencing courses for Beginners </h2>
<p><br />
When a beginners' course is complete you should be able to compete in a proper fencing bout with your fellow beginners. The weapon used in the beginner’s course is a foil and you can go on to fence with the other weapons; epee and sabre if you decide to continue with the sport. <br />
<br />
Please note that full payment is required before your place can be confirmed. The cost is £110 and includes use of all equipment. <br />
<br />
Please register online, or email <a href="mailto:beginnersofc@yahoo.com?subject=Beginners%20Course%20Registration">beginnersofc@yahoo.com</a> for alternatives. </p>
<h2>Course Dates</h2>

<h2>Aims and objectives of the fencing course for beginners <br />
<br />
Aims: </h2>
<p>At the end of the course the participants will be able to practice the conventions of a match in simulated bouts with other course members. </p>
<p>They will know sufficient fencing terminology to take individual lessons from a coach and understand help from other experienced fencers within the club. </p>
<h2><br />
Objectives: </h2>
<ul>
<li>To be able to adopt the correct 'en garde' position. </li>
<li>To be able to coordinate foot and hand actions to execute a simple attack or a defensive retreat. </li>
<li>To appreciate the idea of 'fencing distance' and be able to maintain it. </li>
<li>To be able to take the 'high line guards' in order to execute a simple parry. </li>
<li>To be able to execute a simple direct riposte following a parry. </li>
<li>To be able to continue a 'simple attack', avoiding the simple parry by the use of disengagement’. </li>
<li>To understand and be able to state the basic rule of 'right of way' for simple attacks and ripostes at foil. </li>
<li>To have experienced supervised bouts with other course members. </li>
<li>To understand the area of the target at foil, piste layout, basic fencing rules and etiquette. </li>
<li>To be familiar with basic piste rules, and the role and powers of the referee. </li>
<li>To have gained experience of simple judging of non-electric bouts. </li>
<li>To have received an introduction to the world of fencing, club, competitions, the various age groups, the various weapons. </li>
<li>To understand that this basic course is an introduction to the world of fencing that can lead, with more experience and practice, to trying other weapons and fencing with more experienced members of the club</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Registration and payment for the course must be made in advance via this website, or bank transfer (<a href="https://oxfordfencing.tidyhq.com/public/contact_us">contact us to arrange payment by this method)</a>; unfortunately it is not possible to join at the first class of a course. </p>

We run follow-on courses to teach you further skills, our club coaches are available for individual lessons, and free-fencing is available twice a week.

<p>First, you must indicate that you need club kit when you choose a ticket for the session.</p>
<p>Second, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening. This might mean that you're not happy with your particular choice of kit but it is the only way that we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of finding something that fits.</p>
<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<p> </p><p>Return to fencing!</p>
<p>Club sessions have restarted. This is a Friday session and club equipment will be available for use. </p>
<p> </p>
<h1>Things you'll need to bring:</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Face mask for use whilst in the hall.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Hand sanitiser.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Your own water bottle - the water fountain is out of use. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Things to remember:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>It's hard work fencing with a face mask fitted, so take plenty of breaks and don't go too hard.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Close-quarters fencing is forbidden</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The changing rooms are restricted so you should come in your breeches if possible, or be able to change into kit in the hall.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h1>Before the Session:</h1>
<p><strong>Everyone who will remaining on the school site for the duration of the session MUST have a ticket, even if you are not going to be taking part in the session. </strong>Parents/carers who are dropping off fencers and then leaving do not need a ticket. We will have to turn away anyone who has not booked a place.</p>
<p>Tickets are available from 10:00am on the day of the session, and will be on a first-come first-served basis. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before booking, please read the club COVID instructions on the main website: <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/covid-19-information/">https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/covid-19-information/</a> and ensure that you're familiar with the current risk assessment.</p>
<p>The information that you provide when you book is critical to ensuring that we all remain safe, so please ensure that it's accurate and honest. </p>
<h1>Club Equipment</h1>
<p>We have a limited amount of club equipment, and will be allocating it to members who need to borrow it and the beginners course. If you need to use club equipment, there are some extra things to know.</p>
<p>First, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening. This might mean that you're not happy with your particular choice of kit but it is the only way that we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of finding something that fits.</p>
<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<li>
<p>Hand sanitiser.</p>

</li>
<li>
<p>Close-quarters fencing is forbidden</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The changing rooms are restrictedso you should come in your breeches if possible, or be able to change into kit in the hall.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h1>Before the Session:</h1>
<p><strong>Everyone who will remaining on the school site for the duration of the session MUST have a ticket, even if you are not going to be taking part in the session. </strong>Parents/carers who are dropping off fencers and then leaving do not need a ticket. We will have to turn away anyone who has not booked a place.</p>
<p>Tickets are available from 10:00am on the day of the session, and will be on a first-come first-served basis. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before booking, please read the club COVID instructions on the main website: <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/31/club-session-information-2/">https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/31/club-session-information-2/</a> and ensure that you're familiar with the current risk assessment <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/17/covid-risk-assessment/">https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/17/covid-risk-assessment/</a></p>
<p>The information that you provide when you book is critical to ensuring that we all remain safe, so please ensure that it's accurate and honest. </p>
<h1>Club Equipment</h1>
<p>We have a limited amount of club equipment, and will be allocating it to members who need to borrow it and the beginners course. If you need to use club equipment, there are some extra things to know.</p>
<p>First, you must indicate that you need club kit when you choose a ticket for the session.</p>
<p>Second, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening. This might mean that you're not happy with your particular choice of kit but it is the only way that we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of finding something that fits.</p>
<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<h1>Club Equipment</h1>
<p>We have a limited amount of club equipment, and will be allocating it to members who need to borrow it and the beginners course. If you need to use club equipment, there are some extra things to know.</p>
<p>First, you must indicate that you need club kit when you choose a ticket for the session.</p>
<p>Second, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening. This might mean that you're not happy with your particular choice of kit but it is the only way that we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of finding something that fits.</p>
<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<p> </p><h1>Learn to Fence</h1>
<p>Our courses for beginners (minimum age 8) are led by James Kingston, a qualified British Fencing Association coach registered with England Fencing. The course lasts for 8 weeks and takes place in the new sports centre of Rye St Antony School: see <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/contact-us/" target="_blank">location</a>. </p>
<p>An attendee at one of our recent courses commented <em>"We were all instantly welcomed, and each leasson became the highlight of my week, and great value for money ... It was a great introduction to the sport, and I managed to make a lot more progress than I initially predicted, and will definitely be continuing."</em></p>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>COVID Safety</h2>
<p>As part of our COVID safety protocols, we must restrict the number of people present in the sports hall. This means that all attendees at a session including parents/guardians must book a place. For this reason, we request that younger fencers bring only one adult with them to a session so that there is sufficient space for everyone else. We will contact you before the course starts to confirm whether this will apply to you.</p>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>Fencing courses for Beginners </h2>
<p><br />
When a beginners' course is complete you should be able to compete in a proper fencing bout with your fellow beginners. The weapon used in the beginner’s course is a foil and you can go on to fence with the other weapons; epee and sabre if you decide to continue with the sport. <br />
<br />
Please note that full payment is required before your place can be confirmed. The cost is £110 and includes use of all equipment. <br />
<br />
Please register online, or email <a href="mailto:beginnersofc@yahoo.com?subject=Beginners%20Course%20Registration">beginnersofc@yahoo.com</a> for alternatives. </p>

<h2>Aims and objectives of the fencing course for beginners <br />
<br />
Aims: </h2>
<p>At the end of the course the participants will be able to practice the conventions of a match in simulated bouts with other course members. </p>
<p>They will know sufficient fencing terminology to take individual lessons from a coach and understand help from other experienced fencers within the club. </p>
<h2><br />
Objectives: </h2>
<ul>
<li>To be able to adopt the correct 'en garde' position. </li>
<li>To be able to coordinate foot and hand actions to execute a simple attack or a defensive retreat. </li>
<li>To appreciate the idea of 'fencing distance' and be able to maintain it. </li>
<li>To be able to take the 'high line guards' in order to execute a simple parry. </li>
<li>To be able to execute a simple direct riposte following a parry. </li>
<li>To be able to continue a 'simple attack', avoiding the simple parry by the use of disengagement’. </li>
<li>To understand and be able to state the basic rule of 'right of way' for simple attacks and ripostes at foil. </li>
<li>To have experienced supervised bouts with other course members. </li>
<li>To understand the area of the target at foil, piste layout, basic fencing rules and etiquette. </li>
<li>To be familiar with basic piste rules, and the role and powers of the referee. </li>
<li>To have gained experience of simple judging of non-electric bouts. </li>
<li>To have received an introduction to the world of fencing, club, competitions, the various age groups, the various weapons. </li>
<li>To understand that this basic course is an introduction to the world of fencing that can lead, with more experience and practice, to trying other weapons and fencing with more experienced members of the club</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Registration and payment for the course must be made in advance via this website, or bank transfer (<a href="https://oxfordfencing.tidyhq.com/public/contact_us">contact us to arrange payment by this method)</a>; unfortunately it is not possible to join at the first class of a course. </p>

<p>Club sessions have restarted. This is a Friday session and club equipment will be available for use. </p>
<p> </p>
<h1>Things you'll need to bring:</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Face mask for use whilst in the hall (including during fencing)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Hand sanitiser</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Your own water bottle - the water fountain is out of use. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Things to remember:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>It's hard work fencing with a face mask fitted, so take plenty of breaks and don't go too hard.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Fleching and close-quarters fencing is forbidden</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The changing rooms shouldn't be used so you should come in your breeches, or be able to change into kit in the hall.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h1>Before the Session:</h1>
<p><strong>Everyone who will be entering the school site MUST have a ticket, even if you are not going to be taking part in the session. </strong>We will have to turn away anyone who has not booked a place.</p>
<p>Tickets are available from 10:00am on the day of the session, and will be on a first-come first-served basis. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before booking, please read the club COVID instructions on the main website: <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/31/club-session-information-2/">https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/31/club-session-information-2/</a> and ensure that you're familiar with the current risk assessment <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/17/covid-risk-assessment/">https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/17/covid-risk-assessment/</a></p>
<p>The information that you provide when you book is critical to ensuring that we all remain safe, so please ensure that it's accurate and honest. </p>
<p> </p>
<h1>Parents/Guardians of Junior Members</h1>
<p>The school's risk assessment forbids parents/guardians from entering the school to drop-off or collect children. For this reason, you MUST book a volunteer ticket AND remain on site with any juniors who you are responsible for.</p>
<h1>Club Equipment</h1>
<p>We have a limited amount of club equipment, and will be allocating it to members who need to borrow it. If you need to use club equipment, there are some extra things to know.</p>
<p>First, you must indicate that you need club kit when you choose a ticket for the session.</p>
<p>Second, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening. This might mean that you're not happy with your particular choice of kit but it is the only way that we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of finding something that fits.</p>
<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<h1>Oxford Fencing Club Taster Session</h1>
<p>Come and try out the fun, exciting sport of Fencing at this taster session with Oxford Fencing Club. The session will last about one and a half hours and will be directed by the club coaches to give you an idea of what a beginner’s course will be like. You will be shown the basics in footwork as well as having a chance to try the equipment. <br />
<br />
This is ideal for adults and juniors who are interested in fencing but are not sure if they want to sign up for the eight week beginner’s course. The cost for the session is £16 payable in advance by credit card or bank transfer. <br />
<br />
A group who attended a recent taster commented: <br />
<em>"Thanks for Friday night. We had a good time and were all surprised just how difficult it is just to stand correctly let alone move forward and back. Please pass on our thanks to the two chaps who tried to show us what to do, it must have felt like trying to pin jelly to a wall!" </em><br />
<br />
This session will be open to adults and juniors (minimum age 8) and all you need to bring is some exercise clothing (e.g. tee shirt, track suit bottoms and non-marking trainers) plus some water. Everything else will be provided.</p>

<p>First, you must indicate that you need club kit when you choose a ticket for the session.</p>
<p>Second, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening. This might mean that you're not happy with your particular choice of kit but it is the only way that we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of finding something that fits.</p>
<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<li>Fleching and close-quarters fencing is forbidden</li>
<li>The changing rooms shouldn't be used so you should come in your breeches, or be able to change into kit in the hall.</li>

<h1>Parents/Guardians of Junior Members</h1>
<p>The school's risk assessment forbids parents/guardians from entering the school to drop-off or collect children. For this reason, you MUST book a volunteer ticket AND remain on site with any juniors who you are responsible for.</p>
<h1>Club Equipment</h1>
<p>We have a limited amount of club equipment, and will be allocating it to members who need to borrow it. If you need to use club equipment, there are some extra things to know.</p>
<p>First, you must indicate that you need club kit when you choose a ticket for the session.</p>
<p>Second, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening. This might mean that you're not happy with your particular choice of kit but it is the only way that we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of finding something that fits.</p>
<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<p> </p><p>Return to fencing!</p>
<p>Club sessions have restarted. This is a Friday session and club equipment will be available for use. </p>
<p> </p>
<h1>Things you'll need to bring:</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Face mask for use whilst in the hall (including during fencing)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Hand sanitiser</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Your own water bottle - the water fountain is out of use. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Things to remember:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>It's hard work fencing with a face mask fitted, so take plenty of breaks and don't go too hard.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Fleching and close-quarters fencing is forbidden</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The changing rooms shouldn't be used so you should come in your breeches, or be able to change into kit in the hall.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h1>Before the Session:</h1>
<p><strong>Everyone who will be entering the school site MUST have a ticket, even if you are not going to be taking part in the session. </strong>We will have to turn away anyone who has not booked a place.</p>
<p>Tickets are available from 10:00am on the day of the session, and will be on a first-come first-served basis. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before booking, please read the club COVID instructions on the main website: <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/31/club-session-information-2/">https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/31/club-session-information-2/</a> and ensure that you're familiar with the current risk assessment <a href="https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/17/covid-risk-assessment/">https://oxfordfencingclub.co.uk/2020/08/17/covid-risk-assessment/</a></p>
<p>The information that you provide when you book is critical to ensuring that we all remain safe, so please ensure that it's accurate and honest. </p>
<p> </p>
<h1>Parents/Guardians of Junior Members</h1>
<p>The school's risk assessment forbids parents/guardians from entering the school to drop-off or collect children. For this reason, you MUST book a volunteer ticket AND remain on site with any juniors who you are responsible for.</p>
<h1>Club Equipment</h1>
<p>We have a limited amount of club equipment, and will be allocating it to members who need to borrow it. If you need to use club equipment, there are some extra things to know.</p>
<p>First, you must indicate that you need club kit when you choose a ticket for the session.</p>
<p>Second, you must know what size equipment you need (either by remembering what you wore before lockdown, or by measuring yourself). You will be able to try on<em> only two items of each piece of club kit </em>and then use one of them for the remainder of the evening. This might mean that you're not happy with your particular choice of kit but it is the only way that we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of finding something that fits.</p>
<p>Once you've selected club equipment, a committee member will record the serial numbers of the various pieces that you have and you will then be responsible for them. We will provide a numbered kit bag (or you can use your own bag) to allow you to take the kit home and bring it back (washed) the next time you attend a club session. </p>

<p> </p>
<h1>Plan</h1>
<p>To give you an idea of what we need to do on Tuesday evening, here is some form of plan:</p>
<h2>Things to do:</h2>
<p>1: Number all individual jackets, masks, gloves, plastrons, chest protectors, weapons. <br />
2: Record serial number against what each item is (?)<br />
3: Check that club weapons and wires are working.<br />
4: Check that the batteries for the electric boxes have some charge in them.<br />
4: Plan layout of hall for how we're going to set up pistes, and viewing area.<br />
5: Check what the signage around the school looks like - are we happy with it? <br />
6: Check what the hand-washing/hygiene facilities are like in the various areas of the building.<br />
</p>
<h2>Training:</h2>
<p>1: Role of box operator<br />
2: Role of door monitor<br />
3: Role of kit helper<br />
4: How we are going to manage movement around the hall<br />
5: How to clean weapons/body-wires and other kit</p>
<h2>Discussion:</h2>
<p>I also want to hear from all of you what other things I might have missed in this planning, and whether there are any things that we need to clarify or amplify. I am conscious that there are a lot of words in the various instruction documents, and would welcome any suggestions or edits to make them easier to understand or clearer (especially if any of you are skilled in graphic design/UX). </p>
<h2>Fencing:</h2>
<p>If there are a handful of fencers, I'd like to try the various protocols for actually having a fence, so please do bring kit. Be mindful that we shouldn't be using the changing rooms, so you'll need to come in your kit or be able to get changed next to your bag. </p>

<p> </p><h1>Learn to fence Epee</h1>
<p>Epee is the fencing weapon that is directly descended from the duelling rapier. Come and learn the ins-and-outs of this tactical and occasionally fast-paced weapon. This course is intended as an introduction for those who have never held an Epee, but would like to learn about the different challenges that it offers, and for those who have dabbled in the past and would like a refresher. Please note that this course is not suitable for absolute beginners, who should complete one of our beginners foil courses first.</p>
<h1>How Epee differs from Foil</h1>
<p>There are fewer rules in Epee, including no priority rule (whoever hits first receives the point, and if you both hit at the same time, you both score) and no off-target (the whole body is available for scoring). </p>
<h1>What the course will cover</h1>
<ul>
<li>Introduction to the weapon</li>
<li>Hitting the different parts of target</li>
<li>How parries differ</li>
<li>Timing</li>
<li>Stop-hits and counter-time</li>
</ul>
<h1>Course Dates</h1>
<p>The course will run on four consecutive Friday evenings in March</p>
<ul>
<li>Friday, 6 March 2020</li>
<li>Friday, 13 March 2020</li>
<li>Friday, 20 March 2020</li>
<li>Friday, 27 March 2020</li>
</ul>
<p>Epees will be provided. You will need to have your own fencing breeches.</p>

<p> </p><h1>Oxford Fencing Club Taster Session</h1>
<p>Come and try out the fun, exciting sport of Fencing at this taster session with Oxford Fencing Club. The session will last about one and a half hours and will be directed by the club coaches to give you an idea of what a beginner’s course will be like. You will be shown the basics in footwork as well as having a chance to try the equipment. <br />
<br />
This is ideal for adults and juniors who are interested in fencing but are not sure if they want to sign up for the eight week beginner’s course. The cost for the session is £16 payable in advance by credit card or bank transfer. <br />
<br />
A group who attended a recent taster commented: <br />
<em>"Thanks for Friday night. We had a good time and were all surprised just how difficult it is just to stand correctly let alone move forward and back. Please pass on our thanks to the two chaps who tried to show us what to do, it must have felt like trying to pin jelly to a wall!" </em><br />
<br />
This session will be open to adults and juniors (minimum age 8) and all you need to bring is some exercise clothing (e.g. tee shirt, track suit bottoms and non-marking trainers) plus some water. Everything else will be provided.</p>
<h1>Payment</h1>
<p>Sign up and pay online using your credit card, or <a href="https://oxfordfencing.tidyhq.com/public/contact_us">contact us</a> to arrange payment via bank transfer. If you are purchasing tickets for more than one attendee, please enter their name in the Additional Info box.</p>
<p> </p>

<em>"Thanks for Friday night. We had a good time and were all surprised just how difficult it is just to stand correctly let alone move forward and back. Please pass on our thanks to the two chaps who tried to show us what to do, it must have felt like trying to pin jelly to a wall!" </em><br />
<br />
This session will be open to adults and juniors (minimum age 8) and all you need to bring is some exercise clothing (e.g. tee shirt, track suit bottoms and non-marking trainers) plus some water. Everything else will be provided.</p>

<p> </p><h1>Learn to fence Epee</h1>
<p>Epee is the fencing weapon that is directly descended from the duelling rapier. Come and learn the ins-and-outs of this tactical and occasionally fast-paced weapon. This course is intended as an introduction for those who have never held an Epee, but would like to learn about the different challenges that it offers, and for those who have dabbled in the past and would like a refresher. Please note that this course is not suitable for absolute beginners, who should complete one of our beginners foil courses first.</p>
<h1>How Epee differs from Foil</h1>
<p>There are fewer rules in Epee, including no priority rule (whoever hits first receives the point, and if you both hit at the same time, you both score) and no off-target (the whole body is available for scoring). </p>
<h1>What the course will cover</h1>
<ul>
<li>Introduction to the weapon</li>
<li>Hitting the different parts of target</li>
<li>How parries differ</li>
<li>Timing</li>
<li>Stop-hits and counter-time</li>
</ul>
<h1>Course Dates</h1>
<p>The course will run on four consecutive Friday evenings in April/May</p>
<ul>
<li>26th April</li>
<li>3rd May</li>
<li>10th May</li>
<li>17th May</li>
</ul>
<p>Epees will be provided. You will need to have your own fencing breeches.</p>

<p> </p><h1>Oxford Fencing Club Taster Session</h1>
<p>Come and try out the fun, exciting sport of Fencing at this taster session with Oxford Fencing Club. The session will last about one and a half hours and will be directed by the club coaches to give you an idea of what a beginner’s course will be like. You will be shown the basics in footwork as well as having a chance to try the equipment. <br />
<br />
This is ideal for adults and juniors who are interested in fencing but are not sure if they want to sign up for the eight week beginner’s course. The cost for the session is £16 payable in advance by credit card or bank transfer. <br />
<br />
A group who attended a recent taster commented: <br />
<em>"Thanks for Friday night. We had a good time and were all surprised just how difficult it is just to stand correctly let alone move forward and back. Please pass on our thanks to the two chaps who tried to show us what to do, it must have felt like trying to pin jelly to a wall!" </em><br />
<br />
This session will be open to adults and juniors (minimum age 8) and all you need to bring is some exercise clothing (e.g. tee shirt, track suit bottoms and non-marking trainers) plus some water. Everything else will be provided.</p>
<h1>Payment</h1>
<p>Sign up and pay online using your credit card, or <a href="https://oxfordfencing.tidyhq.com/public/contact_us">contact us</a> to arrange payment via bank transfer. If you are purchasing tickets for more than one attendee, please enter their name in the Additional Info box.</p>

A group who attended a recent taster commented: <br />
<em>"Thanks for Friday night. We had a good time and were all surprised just how difficult it is just to stand correctly let alone move forward and back. Please pass on our thanks to the two chaps who tried to show us what to do, it must have felt like trying to pin jelly to a wall!" </em><br />
<br />
This session will be open to adults and juniors (minimum age 8) and all you need to bring is some exercise clothing (e.g. tee shirt, track suit bottoms and non-marking trainers) plus some water. Everything else will be provided.</p>

<p> </p><h1><span style="font-size:14px;">Oxford Fencing Club Taster Session</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Come and try out the fun, exciting sport of Fencing at this taster session with Oxford Fencing Club. The session will last about one and a half hours and will be directed by the club coaches to give you an idea of what a beginner’s course will be like. You will be shown the basics in footwork as well as having a chance to try the equipment. <br />
<br />
This is ideal for adults and juniors who are interested in fencing but are not sure if they want to sign up for the eight week beginner’s course. The cost for the session is £15 payable in advance by cheque or bank transfer. <br />
Taster session participants who go on to take the beginners course will receive a discount of £10 on that course. <br />
<br />
A group who attended a recent taster commented: <br />
<em>"Thanks for Friday night. We had a good time and were all surprised just how difficult it is just to stand correctly let alone move forward and back. Please pass on our thanks to the two chaps who tried to show us what to do, it must have felt like trying to pin jelly to a wall!" </em><br />
<br />
This session will be open to adults and juniors (minimum age 8) and all you need to bring is some exercise clothing (e.g. tee shirt, track suit bottoms and non-marking trainers) plus some water. Everything else will be provided.</span></p>
