Equipment

The Wadsworth Fencing Club has a limited supply of equipment available to our newest members. Our general policy is, all members are expected to bring their own equipment in order to fence. After the first few weeks as a new member the club will work with you to order a starter set. Our preferred equipment vendor is Blue Guantlet Fencig Gear.
