Where & when do we meet?

The Godalming Fencing Club meets at the Charterhouse School sports centre, which is just off the A3, south of Guildford. The sports centre provides sports facilities for the renowned Charterhouse School and for a private health & fitness club, the Charterhouse Club. We have the use of the fencing studio, which boasts air conditioning, a wooden sprung-floor and three permanently marked fencing pistes. Changing rooms, showers and a café are also provided within the sports centre and can be used by fencers and parents. There is free car parking available.
