Ipswich Fencing Club

Hi All,
Having spoken to to John and Duncan we’ve come to the decision to cancel all fencing sessions In light of the guidance from
government.

This is disappointing however the health and well-being of members has to come first.

We’ll be in touch as soon as we know when we might be back fencing as the guidance changes.

Stay safe, stay well and I’ll see you all soon.
Chris

Great News we’re back fencing this week!!
