Taster Sessions - "London 2012 Inspire Program"
Cotswold Fencing Club is also running several taster sessions as part of the London 2012 Inspire Programme. The first two sessions were run during the Easter holidays and went very well. There are further sessions planned during the summer holidays. These sessions are 2 hours long and aimed at total beginners between the ages of 8 and 14. These sessions are booked through Tom Sparkes of The Sports Development Team from Cheltenham Borough Council, and will run at the "All Saints Academy". The Easter course was one of those featured in the South West inspire newsletter Spring 2012. (Link Below). Where we had 2 courses of about 20 juniors each.
