The club was formed in 1989 and is a member of the British Fencing Association, Which includes public liability insurance.
Individual membership, which includes personal insurance, is required when a fencer has been a member of Trafford sword club for 3 months.
All three weapons - Foil, Epee and Sabre are taught and coached at the club from beginner to international level and all coaches are trained by the British Fencing Association and/ or the British Academy of Fencing.
Trafford Sword Club’s Motto is:
"The Social Club with a Competitive Edge"
The club has an active social life; an infamous BBQ once a year, restaurant visits and other 'get togethers'. We also meet in the bar of the leisure centre for a drink and a chat every week after fencing. Within the fencing Salle we encourage a sense of sportsmanship combined with a competitive challenge for juniors and seniors alike.
The club is a mixture of social fencers (fencers who just enjoy the sport for its own sake) and competitive fencers, who compete at regional and national level.
