Forth Valley Fencing Club

We are Five!

From starting outdoors in 2021 until now it has been a fantastic five years so far. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed. It has really flown by!

On Saturday the 1st of August we will be having a celebration at the club after our regular Saturday afternoon session. It would be great to see any of our friends who would like to come along.

Bring your kit, (and something to throw on the BBQ) have a fence and join in with our club birthday party!

We hope to see you all there 😁

Well done to all the young fencers who competed at the Scottish Secondary schools championships on the 21st/22nd. It was wonderful to have so many members there and to see them all show great club spirit supporting one another.

Over the same weekend some of our Veteran members were competing at the Veteran nationals in Bedford - Andrew in the Epee, Silvia in the Sabre and Roz putting in a great effort and competing in all three weapons, bring home the gold medal for Sabre as well as getting a great 8th in the epee!

Last weekend Jonathan finished his U14 season by representing GBR at the EFC U14 fencing festival in Cividale de Friule in 37 degree heat! A fantastic final U14 experience before he moves up to Cadets for the coming season.

The Vets were also back in action this time at the Veteran 4 Nations team event. Well done to Silvia (Sabre), Sheila(Foil) and Roz (Sabre, and squeezed in an Epee match as well) who all contributed to the Scottish team coming Second overall.

Next week sees the start of the Fencing Forge Epee camp in Edinburgh - there are still some spaces available so sign up quick! https://scherma.eu/en/eventi/edinburgh-daily-camp-2026

Massive well done all of the men's epeeists and woman's foilists who competed at the Summer of Sport Open today, particular shout outs to Chloe, Sheila and Georgina who came first second and third respectively!🥇 🥈 🥉 Thanks Scottish Fencing for organizing such a great event!

Just a reminder that the Salle is closed tomorrow with our Coaches away at the Summer of Sport Open at the Gannochy Sports Centre, Stirling Uni.

Very well done to all our club members who attended the inaugural Dundee open over the weekend! The combined efforts of the 17 people who made it along were enough to secure the the top club award 😁

On the podium front, Saturday saw Rob and Jonathan taking gold and silver in the mens Epee, with Elki adding a silver in womens Sabre and Sam winning the secondary epee. Top result on Sunday went to Chloe who won the womens foil.

A big thanks to the organisers who went to the effort of starting a new event. We all had a great time and are looking forward to the next one.

Summer is round the corner, and so is our Summer camp. Book a day or all week.
Lots of fencing to be had
