Full Membership

At least one personal lesson each week.
Group sessions filled with technical, tactical and physical training for all levels.
We do not charge a sign-up fee. Our members' monthly contributions help to cover our basic costs, which, when combined with thousands of hours of volunteer work, allow us to keep fees about 50% below market rate.

Student Membership
Haverstock sees students as a vital part of the club's future and offers a significant membership discount to those in full time or further education who wish to participate in our adult fencing sessions. To qualify for a Student discount, applicants must either be under 18 or be able to provide proof of being in education.
Associate Membership
Associate membership is a "pay as you go" based membership aimed at fencers who would like to represent Haverstock in competition, but are unable to commit to regular attendance due to location or busy schedules. The base fee includes affiliation to Haverstock Fencing Club, and a single visit (including a personal lesson) per month. Additional attendance at the club is available by purchasing Visitor Passes at the ordinary visitors' rate in our webstore. Please note that these visitor passes do not entitle the holder to a lesson with a coach.
Financial assistance
If you are suffering from financial hardship, the club may able to assist with membership costs.
