22.01.2022 Halt! We have some potentially exciting news! We *may* (90% certain) have a venue for the club to resume for Term Four this year! It's still a way off, but better late than never! Coach Avery is missing the Blackmans Bay fencers terribly and can't wait to get the club up and running again.... If you haven't received an update email, please contact Coach Avery to be added to the mailing list: [email protected].

19.01.2022 Hello Everyone! We miss you so much but we are still on hold in Blackmans Bay until we can have the hall on Saturdays again. Please feel free to come along to the Tuesday sessions at the Tolosa St Hall - 148 Tolosa St in Glenorchy. They resume this Tuesday (July 21st). Please email us if you plan to come because we have a number of steps we're taking to keep everyone safe from COVID-19 and we'll send you an email about them. [email protected]... Kids will fence 5 pm - 5:50 pm and Teens + Adults will run 6:10 pm - 8 pm. Please don't enter the hall before your time slot - we need to avoid cross over between groups. Best wishes, Coach Avery

18.01.2022 Oops! We overlooked the first birthday of our Blackmans Bay arm of Van Diemen Fencing Club back on May 25th! We're not entirely sure how it can possibly be a whole year since our first Blackmans Bay members walked through the door, but it has been a wonderful adventure and we can't wait for the club to resume soon! Thank you to everyone who helps make it absolutely worth leaving the house on Saturdays to coach and spend time with a fabulous group of people!

18.01.2022 All of our fencers/junior fencers' parents should have received an email today with an update on fencing news. Please let us know ASAP via email if you didn't receive the update. :)

18.01.2022 Coach Avery is busy editing videos to email to our members! His laptop is not happy with his new pastime and a 3 min clip is taking 42+ mins to render... so please hang tight! ;)

The sessions will b...e held online from 6-7pm and each fortnightly seminar will discuss a different weapon.

14.01.2022 Here are some photos of mostly our newest fencers at Blackmans Bay from a couple of sessions ago :)

14.01.2022 Dear Fencers, Following the lead of the FIE we ask that, for the time being, you refrain from shaking hands after bouting and instead give your opponent another... salute. Thank you, Van Diemen Fencing Club

14.01.2022 Saturday (13/3) Club is cancelled! Coach Avery is very sad and sorry; he's not 100% recovered from the bug that detained him from going to Glenorchy's Tuesday session and he'd rather play it safe and not share the love. As a few newer members are yet to complete the registration form here: https://tinyurl.com/vdfc2020 we don't have a complete list of contact details. Please help us by letting any of your fencing friends know that there won't be club tomorrow. Thank you!

12.01.2022 Happy Friday! In case you didn't receive a text/email, Saturday club will now start on Saturday Feb 15th! We're sorry for the inconvenience!

08.01.2022 It's been a while (several years...) since we ordered club merch and it's definitely cold enough for a hoody!

We'll do another order in a few months. :) Tees $35 Hoodies $65

07.01.2022 "The most surprising thing was definitely the speed. This former D1 football player learned fencing the hard way.

06.01.2022 ?¿DID YOU KNOW?¿ The middle part of the blade is called the 'moyenne' and is used for beats and engagements! (Beasley, Bottoms PhD, Miller PhD, Prof. Paul & Usher 2011) Reference: 1.

05.01.2022 Get on board! What a fantastic opportunity! :)

04.01.2022 Here's a fun trick! 1. Touch your toes as far as you can go, then stand up again. 2. Roll a firm ball under each foot for 2-3 minutes. 3. Touch your toes again and see how much further you can go!

03.01.2022 Andras Redli won team Bronze in Rio 2016 and is the last remaining member of that team. He's grown into the veteran role and leading the charge with the next generation of Hungarys Epeeist to Tokyo 2020. #fencing #roadtotokyo #andrasredli

01.01.2022 Here is a fantastic resource from the AIS. Please know that we take the health of our fencers and their loved ones very seriously and we are closely monitoring the Covid-19 situation. As well as keeping track on what other sporting associations and fencing clubs are doing to limit the risk to their members, we are making plans for ways we can deliver content to our fencers by distance should there come a time where it is necessary to temporarily postpone club sessions.... For those fencers wishing to purchase their own masks and gloves, please contact Coach Avery at [email protected] Will will keep you informed if there are any changes to club sessions. Kind regards, Van Diemen Fencing Club https://ais.gov.au/health-wellbeing/covid-19
