Shetland Fencing Club hold regular recreational club competions. We are making our event in June open to fencers everywhere and want to offer this event as a chance to come and visit Shetland, with help to arrange travel and accomodation, some guided tours around Shetland and a Social Night and meal on the Saturday. This the first time we have tried such an event, and we realise it is a long way to come. We are sure though, we can offer plenty of fencing and a warm welcome to Shetland with a chance to see some of it's natural beauty.
We have received a lot of interest from fencers already. Due to accomodation and travel being heavily booked in summer, we ask you to consider your trip up and decide as early as you can (that is by end of Jan if possible).
To take part, enter the rec comp and receive further information on travel, accomodation and Shetland, please email:
