A brief update on the Club’s programme for 2021.
Hurlingham are opening for activities and – since the Club has fenced there for over a 100 years save for WW1 and WW2 and 2020 – we could not let 2021 slip by.
Read MoreDue to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, and the uncertainty about competitive fencing, the EC Committee regrets that the 2021 Epée Club Cup competition has been cancelled.
Read MoreThere has been little unlocking in the world of fencing – save at elite level – and this is a brief update on the outlook for Club activities in the latter half of 2021.
It is unclear when fencing will commence again – even outdoors – and Hurlingham have not contacted us about their intentions this summer. Lansdowne is impossible to contact and my guess is that nothing will be decided by London Clubs until it is an absolute certainty that life can begin to return to normality.

Keith passed away on 4th April 2021 after a long illness with cancer. Our deepest sympathies go to his family and his many friends.
Read MoreDear Member,
As you know the Club has been dormant in 2020 – as has fencing in general – and the hope is that 2021 will see a return to normal activities. Therefore we have published an aspirational Club Calendar for the year which has been agreed with the Naval Club, the Hurlingham and the Leon Paul Centre. Perhaps these dates could be lightly pencilled into your diary. They can now be found on the Club website (Members Portal) [sic] where updates to confirm / cancel them will appear nearer the time.
