University of Manchester Fencing

Do YOU have what it takes to fence in the BUCS Premier North? Come along to our team trials to find out! Our lovely captains will be selecting 12 people, 4 for each weapon, to be on our prestigious Mixed 1’s Team! Don’t miss out on this opportunity... Make sure you sign up through the link in our bio before attending, and arrive on time!!! Further info on our Whatsapp.

Ben is your other co-president! (When he’s not organising the Manchester Open 2027, which you should all sign up to when entries open!)

He was previously seen picking up a weapon, and hitting George with it. Now he’s decided he wants to run the damn club... Who the hell let this happen?

Here is your first co-president Ezgi! She can be found at any pool table at the post-training pub. She says she’s turkish, but everyone knows she’s a true Mancunian 🐝. Pubs, Clubs and Kebabs. Bosh.

COMMITTEE ANNOUNCEMENT 26/27!

Get ready to meet your committee for the next year!

CONGRATULATIONS!! 💜💛

Congrats to our fencers and everyone else graduating this year! We’ll miss you very much but we wish you all the best after this monumental achievement!

Congratulations to everyone receiving their A-level results today! We hope they all went well (especially if you’re coming to Manchester next month…)

If you’re coming to UoM, come and say hi at the sports fair in Academy 2 on the 22nd of September! Or you can join the WhatsApp from the link in our bio.

We look forward to seeing you!

From the orchestra to the piste, she’s got more medals and awards than fits in her fencing bag… Harriet’s off to senior worlds, competing tomorrow!

Go smash it, world champs got nothing on our Christie Cup winner! 💜💛

Huge congrats to all our fencers at Open Nationals last weekend!

Specifically .hillier and for coming 2nd 🥈 and 3rd 🥉 respectively out of over 110 fencers! Also well done to Drew Thornley for a 12th place finish, and all our other fencers who achieved respectable results.
