The County of Essex has much to offer the fencer, whatever their level of experience, their age or ability. There are clubs in the major centres of population, most of who have experienced coaches providing training in all three weapons.

Essex hold it's own County Championships in all three weapons , both team and individual, and runs its own Junior Championships. The County also enters the Excaliber inter-county team tournament and runs it's own inter-county team tournament - The Read Cup. A cup competition created to honour Chas and Pat Read for their many years of dedicated service in running the county.

ECFU publishes a newsletter "Points in Line" which is received by all the BFA affiliated clubs. If your clubs is not receiving their copy let us know. As Editor I welcome articles from clubs, coaches or fencers for inclusion.

All in all Essex can meet the requirements of most fencers whether they be High ranked internationals or simply out to enjoy a sociable evening fencing.

In Essex we believe that our fencing should be fun as well as competitive, and whilst annual Fencing competitions are held and medals awarded, we believe Fencing is a sport for all to take part and enjoy week in week out throughout the year at club nights irrespective of the standard.

If you have not tried the sport and want to have a go either contact a club from the list or turn up when they meet and have a chat , you will always be made welcome
