| Worcester Fencing Club in Malvern
Worcester Fencing moved to Malvern in May 2007 and has grown steadily. The move enabled us to meet on a Wednesday evening rather than a Friday. It was started in 2002 at The King's School, Worcester. It combined a Centre under the Hereford & Worcester County Fencing Union and a community club re-established from the former Worcester Fencing Club. The Centre is one of several such centres, which were supported by BFA to provide facilities for developing fencers at Cadet, Junior and Senior level. 
Come along and introduce yourself to one of us: Simon, Malcolm & John
