Beginners Course

There are a number of 7 week Beginners’ Courses held during the year, which cost $105 per course (2021 price) per person. The courses are aimed people 14 years and over that have never fenced before or are returning to fencing after a period of time.

The fee covers all the fencing specific equipment you will need for the 7 weeks. By the end of the course you will know whether you like the sport or not. Should you wish to continue fencing after the course you will need to join the club as a member and pay a registration fee to the state association, Fencing WA. Cavaliers fee information can be found on our page. If you choose to not initially purchase your own equipment there is an equipment hire fee. Our registrar, will be able to give you more details at the club.

The carpark will be open until the building has been vacated. The south facing door, leading from the centre onto the Mt Lawley SHS site, is closed after 3pm. This means you will not be able to access the flight of stairs leading to the car park at that end.
