The Boring bits

If you then decide to stay after the six weeks – which most people do, the six week starter course will be taken out of the annual membership fee.

The Membership Fee is split between WFC and British Fencing.

Wrexham Membership
£20 of the membership fee goes towards Wrexham Fencing Club and is used to cover the cost of hiring the sports hall, buying and maintaining our kit, and paying for our Professional Coaching.

Wrexham Fencing Club also uses a large portion of its annual membership fee to of towards helping our competition fencers in travelling to competitions and paying for accommodation, particularly when they are abroad.

British Fencing Membership
£10 of the starter course fee goes towards British Fencing Membership which gives you insurance to fence at the club, this £10 gives you a Social membership, which means that you can only fence at a specified club, however this can be upgraded at any time and will then allow you to fence in competitions if you wanted to.
