Fencers must wear a T-shirt, thin-soled non-marking trainers or fencing
shoes, socks, and tracksuit trousers or jogging bottoms. Please note
that jeans, cargo pants, shorts and any leg wear with external pockets,
straps etc are not allowed, as they are a safety hazard. They should
bring a sweatshirt for changing into after the session and a plastic
bottle of plain water, marked with their name. If they have long hair
they must have a means of tying it back. If they use an inhaler, they
should bring that with them, again marked with their name.
Equipment regulations now mean that when fencing with electric weapons
and recording apparatus the fencer must wear an ‘800 Newton’ plastron
(under-jacket) and ‘350 Newton’ fencing breeches with long white socks.
Whilst the club will continue to honour its charitable aim of providing
kit for all those who cannot provide their own, we are encouraging
parents and carers to invest in these two items at least, which can be
purchased through the club at a discount from the supplier. We will also
organise a kit exchange when children grow out of their kit, so that you
can recoup some of your outlay by selling on second-hand items in good
repair.
Sherwood Cadets Fencing Club holds the following equipment for use by
members: masks; gloves; breeches; underplastrons; jackets; lamés; foils
(various sizes); sabres (various sizes); wires.
The following link gives
a good introduction to fencing equipment.
