ASC June Newsletter.
ASC fencers can borrow equipment and uniforms from the club for competitions. If you’ve entered the Under 15/Under 17 competitions being held Sunday 14 June and need equipment (swords, wires, mask, glove, plastron) and a uniform let the coaches know on Saturday. They will help you get ready to compete!
Congratulations to all the ASC young fencers who competed in the FSA Competitions over the past 2 weekends. A big shout out especially to those who went in their first competitions!
Congratulations to all the ASC fencers and regular ASC visitors who competed in the 2025/26 Robyn Chaplin Senior and Veteran Championships in Brisbane last week!
ADELAIDE SWORDS CLUB NEWSLETTER
Greetings fencers and fencing families it's already the start of term 2! This year has been busy with lots of fencers in the club on Monday, Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings! We've also met lovely new people in the kids and adults beginner classes. If you are a past member and haven't been in for a while we would love to see you back. I think we can all agree fencing is more fun than the gym, an excellent way to keep fit, and be social!
Happy New Year, and we hope you’ve had a relaxing break! The club opens Monday, 19th January. Saturday morning classes start on 31st January. Monday Night Youth Training starts back on 2nd February.
Saturday 13th December are the last classes for 2025! We're celebrating with a Pirates Fencing Competition starting at 9am and a combined comp at 10 am for the big kids. There'll be medals, encouragement awards, lolly bags and snacks so come along and have fun!
** Please note that there is no Monday Night Youth Training 8th December and the club will not open until 7pm on the 8th due to coach availability**

Congratulations also to Georgina Barratt for representing Australia in Senior Women’s foil in the 2025 Asian Fencing Championships where she came 48th. Good luck also to Georgie who is currently training in Europe before competing in the FIE World Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia later this month.
At the 2024–25 AGM, Angus Kingston stepped down as President after five years but will stay on the committee. We thank Angus for his long-standing contribution since 2017 and are glad he’ll continue to support the club.
Good luck to our young fencers competing in Sydney this weekend in the AYC event. Also to Coraine and Alison competing in Dubai at the Veterans World Championships. Coraine sent this photo of the venue. The Hamden Sports Complex is the biggest multi-purpose complex in the World. These pistes are on top of a swimming pool.
