COMPETITIONS FOR BEGINNERS
Competitions are what fencing is all about, testing yourself against the best in the country to see how you compare. There are various types and levels of fencing competitions from the county championships up to World Cups, World Championships and, of course, the Olympics - Reading fencers have competeted at all of them. If you want to start competing your best bet is to talk to one of the senior members and ask their advice on where to begin. As a general rule the country or section competitions (see the links above) are a good place to start, with "Open" competitions offering larger numbers with a broader range of abilities. For more information on your first competition see Southern Fencing's excellent guide on the subject.
Fencing for Reading at a competition gives you a great advantage (remember to put "Reading" in the club section on your entry form), as you will have an army of supporters to offer help, advice and cheer you on to victory. Our senior fencers regularly win both local (the BB&O county epee championship has been won by a Reading fencing every year this millenium) and national competitions and are happy to support and advise you.
RFC is open to everyone from complete beginners to experienced fencers. If you're new to the sport and fancy giving it a go, then why not enrol on one of our popular beginners courses.
