My fiance and I are keen to try fencing and came across your website. I was wondering if there is still space on your beginers course and if so how we register.
Best wishes,
Elisabeth Jameson
Hi Elisabeth, our next beginners course starts on 21st September, if you want to join you can get the form from the link on the Beginners page of the website. Adam
My partner would like to try fencing – is it possible for him to attend a trial class to see if he really likes it before signing up for the 8 week programme? It is his birthday at the end of the month and I would like to book asap.
Many thanks
Lizzy Finnigan
Hi Lizzy, Yes! if your partner and yourself would like to come down to the club any Wednesday before the next beginners course we can introduce you to the sport and the club.
All the best
Adam
Hi Adam thanks very much for your reply. We will definately come down before 21st September. Many thanks again.
Lizzy
Hi, my 14 year old daughter is interested in the beginners fencing course, could you let me know when the next one will start? Thanks.
Hi Tina, our next beginners course starts on Wednesday 25th January, as you may have seen, this runs from 8:30pm till 10:00pm. If this is too late, our Junior session runs from 7:00pm till 8:30pm, It might be better if she attends this session. If you come down next week at 7:00pm next week, we can sort out what would be best.
Apologies but the 25th clashed with a re-arranged Piano lesson, may we come on 1 Feb for the early session? Thanks.
Hi Tina, 1st Feb will be fine! Hopefully see you then – Adam
Thank you.
Hi
Am interested in the beginners 8 week course,does this start on Friday 21st September? Also do you need to bring a partner? Finally would be away on holiday for one week of the course, is that a problem?
Thanks
Helen Fisher
Hi Helen,
We are currently taking a more flexible approach to beginners and beginners are able to attend the club at any time. It works best if you are able to bring a partner to work with. You should come at 7:00pm and we can take it from there.
All the best
Adam
Thanks Adam
Will see who I can bring along,do I have to wait until September or do you been to start now?
Thanks
Helen.
Hi Helen, coming to the club at 7:00 on any Wednesday will be fine.
Adam
My two sons aged 10 and 13 would like to try fencing. Can I just bring them to any junior session or is there a course start date I need to know?
Thanks
Rachel MacLeod
Hi Rachel
Yes, if you come down for 7:00pm and we can start from there.

Adam

Hi

Adam
Hi, Will you be running a beginners course this september. My partner and I are interested in giving it a go!
Hi Elizabeth,
We don’t have a course planned at the moment. But we do have a list of people interested so I will add your name to the list and let you know when a future course is organised.
Adam
Hi Adam,
As you have probably heard before the Olympic’s have achieved its goals and inspired me to get back into sport and fitness after a far too long hiatus. Fencing really interests me and would love to get involved. Do I need to wait for a beginner course or are there other options? Impatiently waiting to learn the ropes haha.
Many Thanks Phil
Hi Phil,
Whilst we don’t have any beginners courses planed just at the moment, we do have a list of those wanting do do a course so we will probably get one going in the near future. I will add your name to the list. In the meantime, in addition to Sheffield Buccaneers website, you might find my website at http://www.adamblight-fencing.com and my Youtube channel at http://www.youtube/user/adamblight of interest.
Adam
Hello,
I am just registering my interest in a beginners course, I have always been interested in it having done it as a child on holiday but haven’t had the time until having graduated University and having a job to pay for it!
Nothing to do with the Olympics either, I just watched the Duellists again and it reminded me!
Thank you,
Michael Short.
Hi Michael
Love the film The Duellists. I will let you have details of our next course.
Adam
Hi Adam
I’ve read through the recent comments and if you are putting a list together of people interested in a beginners course please add my name to list as well! Inspired by Olympics in general to take up a sport and fencing seems really cool.
Many thanks
Keith Simmonds

Your son (and any of his friends from school fencing) will be very welcome to come down to our club and join in. He can do one of our courses or join in with the general club training. Our next course begins next week on Wednesday 6th March.
