Our last night training before the Holidays will be Thursday 13th December. We will start back on Thursday 3rd January 2019.

We will have a Christmas night out at the Atholl Arms at 7pm on Thursday 20th December. They have their feastive food menu available.

Give us a couple of hours of your time and we will teach you how to fence. Bring a friend - it's better to learn together. There is no charge for this course. The class will run from 7 to 9 pm on Thursday 4th October.

All specialist equipment will be supplied by the club - this will be worn over your own clothes. Wear clothes you will be comfortable working out in - but no shorts due to safety concerns. You need to bring some indoor sports shoes with non-marking soles. The building has changing rooms and showers available.

We are delighted to welcome Calum de Sainte Croix as the new head coach of GWEFC - he is the son of Graeme (aka Dusty) who was our founding coach (some years ago).

Calum brings a wealth of coaching and competitive fencing experience - also, refereeing, armoury, competition organisation, film extra-ing.

Tonight will be Mark’s last night coaching at GWEFC - he is planning on more time on the other type of piste.

We look forward to more Facebook updates from his skiing and biking adventures. Also, expect to see him back at GWEFC as a fencer.

Due to the current weather situation, Cally Uni's Glasgow campus will be closed on Thursday 1st March, so GWEFC will not be running.

As has become tradition, we will take a break over the holiday period, but not before the Christmas Competition and Special Tactics Training (ie the Pub) nights.

Thursday 7th December 

This will be our last fencing night and will be our usual Christmas Competition. This will be a team match, open to all, we will decide the teams and weapons at the start of the evening - possibly changing mid-way through depending on when the Epeeists arrive. Please try to arrive in time for team selection starting at 7pm.

Unusually, this year's M8 Open was not plagued by snow, locked doors, fire alarms, locust swarms or any other random acts of nature.

A few members and irregulars at the club ventured to Bathgate to meet the challenge of combined Team and Individual competitions.
