About us
Chichester Community Fencing Club is run entirely by volunteers to promote the sport of fencing and the idea of ’sportsmanship first’. We were founded in 2007 with the help of a Awards for All Lottery grant (£9000) for equipment and training of coaches. The club immediately instigated two major programmes - Coach Bursaries to encourage the growth of coaching within the sport and the Schools Development Scheme (SDS) to introduce school children to the sport and to help grow the sport from grassroots level. The SDS was generously funded by The Woodger's Trust (a local charitable trust) and grew tremendously, strongly driven, by the then Club's president, Steve Crossley. The club has successfully held two annual SDS competitions in which local school's from the Wittering's and Chichester area have competed. We have participated in Chichester Council sport promotions at Oakland's park every year from 2009- to date and have even demonstrated the value of the sport in health by presenting at local doctor's surgeries!

The club committee meets regularly and all members are invited to attend the meetings. The committee are elected by the membership at the Club’s annual general meeting, or at specially held general meetings, and are responsible for the day to day running of the club as well as promoting the club and it’s ideals. There is no limit to the size of the committee and we are always looking for new people to bring in their own skills and experience.
