Cost

The cost for the fencing has changed from this year and is no longer a three part process. As of this year the newly opened sports centre does not require membership from students studying at the university in order to attend the training sessions. For more details on sports centre membership please use the contact use feature. you will however be required to purchase a purple card which allows you to join any clubs or societies

1. Purple Card - £12.50. The Purple Card is an enhanced NUS Card with significant extra benefits, not least of which is the ability to join as many of the University Sports Clubs & Societies as you wish. This also provides you with insurance whilst participating in our activities. There is also a three year card available.
2. Club Membership - £45. This is a one off payment that entitles you to use of all Club Equipment and coaching, both in group sessions and on a one-to-one basis.

Members who are not currently Lancaster University Students will require a non-student activities card in place of a Purple Card. This incurs the same charge as a Purple Card, for further details on non-student access to the club please use the contact us feature.

Coaching

The Club's coaching is primarily provided by professional fencing coach Mâitre D'Armes Lee Hinegan.

Non-students

The Club also welcomes Members who are not currently Lancaster University Students, be these members of staff, students from other institutions, or indeed the general public. Please see the membership details elsewhere on this site. Please note that as a University Sports Club, we are naturally obliged to give preference to current Lancaster Students, so we would ask that non-students wishing to join please contact us beforehand.
