About Fencing - Equipment and Safety |

Use of Club Equipment |
|||||||
|
Fencing equipment is expensive, and the ANUFC is fortunate to have a reasonable amount of gear for use by its members.
The club policy is that members who are students at ANU may use all club equipment while they remain members. Other members who are beginner fencers may use club equipment for the first six months,
after which they are expected to purchase their own weapons, mask, plastron, etc. In particular, the club does not supply electric weapons for regular non ANU student members.
Electric scoring boxes, spools and ground leads are available for use by all club members during club times. Note that club equipment may only be used by club members. Please handle the equipment carefully. If something breaks, it is placed in the 'broken equipment box' - working spools have coloured tape on them, so if one of these breaks just remove the tape (don't try putting a spool up in the box). Just about everything can be fixed by the Armourer, although this is very time consuming and we rely on club members to assist in repairing equipment. If you find that there is a shortage of working equipment, why not volunteer to help fix some? Most gear is easy to fix, and anyone can learn how to do it - our Armourer is happy to teach interested parties, and members are expected to attend regular sessions to repair equipment. Please put away/hang up all equipment where you found it. Although this may seem like common sense, the equipment room rapidly becomes a mess when people don't take care. Members are all expected to help set up and put away the electric equipment and fencing strips. Finally - don't take any equipment home. Club gear belongs to the club, and although some gear is available for various competitions, you must sign for this (see a member of the Executive) - failure to do this will be considered theft. |

Safety |
|||||||
| There are nationally recognised standards of safety with regard to fencing, and our rules relating to safety are not negotiable. Proper fencing attire is required at all times - fencers must wear a mask, pants below the knee, glove, plastron, and jacket. Fencing should not hurt, and you should be wearing enough protective gear so that you feel comfortable and safe. | |||||||
