The club welcomes new members, but insists on newcomers to the sport completing a beginners course before they can take out membership. Beginner’s courses are run at the beginning of each month. Further details are available on our Classes page.

All prices of courses and membership can be found on the Membership page. The beginners course costs €170 which is payable in advance at the start of the beginners course and is non-refundable.

If you have to cancel the course/private lesson, please notify the club at least 24 hours prior to the course/private lesson.

We do not allow people new to fencing to become members of the club until they have completed one of our beginners courses. Fencers who complete the beginners course successfully must become members if they wish to continue fencing at the club and participate in our intermediate/advanced class.

We supply all equipment you need for beginners courses. Just bring runners, T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms and fee of €170.

We are a 10 minute drive from the city centre. The address is St. Conleths College Gymnasium, Clyde Road, Ballsbridge. See our location map for details.

Children class: 6 +

Adult class: 15 +

It is never too late to start fencing. Many of our fencers started later in life and still enjoy fencing after 20 plus years. Fencing associations have veteran divisions that start at the age of 40 and are highly competitive. The members of Pembroke fencing ranges in age from 6 to those in their fifties. Your age is never an excuse not to start fencing.
