What should I bring?

Food:

There is a small cafe on site, but we recommend that you bring your own food and drink as it is quite far from the training venue.

Equipment:

If you have any questions or support needs regarding the below, please get in touch. We will be able to source kit and chairs if required, but please let us know as soon as possible. In particular, if you have your own fencing chair, you should bring this along so you can train with familiar equipment and allow loaner chairs to be distributed to those who need them the most.

• Full electric fencing kit including breeches, socks, spare weapons and wires for all weapons you expect to fence. This includes skirts for Epee, if you have your own.
• Your training diary and a means of videoing yourself while fencing.
• Your own fencing chair (please let us know if you don’t have one so we can arrange a loaner).
• Sports kit for non-fencing activity. T-shirts, shorts, comfortable indoor trainers, etc.
• Any kit you would usually use for warm ups, including resistance bands.
• Named water bottle.
• Any essential medication.
• Clothes and toiletries.

Accommodation

Travel and accommodation is the sole responsibility of the fencer: there are several hotels nearby, many of which have accessible rooms, but we encourage you to contact them directly to discuss your needs.

If you have any other questions regarding the camp, please email [email protected].
