Fun Fencing Clinic and Activities
Fencing Victoria would like to see all fencers making a day of the event, and being a part of the excitement and presentations throughout the day. To this end an ongoing clinic will be run down stairs by several Victorian coaches, focused on fun skills acquisition through activities and games. We invite all fencers to take part in this before and after their competition involvement, to get the most out of their day and meet and get to know other fencers from around the country.
Food and Drink
All participants are welcome to bring their own food and drink, however Fencing Victoria and our fencing community will be doing a sausage sizzle for your convenience and will make available a range of snacks and drinks.
