Trott Park Fencing Club Inc.
About the club
Trott Park Fencing Club Inc. was
established nearly 20 years ago, in 1993. Training at the Trott Park Neighborhood
Centre, it was run under the auspices of the City of Marion and came under the
umbrella of the Trott Park Neighborhood Centre Committee Inc.
In 2004 the
Club moved to the Hallett Cove South Primary School. It also became
incorporated, passed its first constitution, elected the inaugural management
committee and became a full member of Fencing SA, the governing body for fencing
in South Australia. A very busy year for the club!
In 2011 we moved to the new gym at Sheidow Park Primary School as we had outgrown the Activity Hall (in terms of the number of people who could safely fence at any one time) at Hallett Cove South Primary School. Our new venue is a 3/4 size basketball court and can easily fit markings for 4 pistes and allow room for fixing gear. Plus, we have a storage area that has room for our 6 cupboards. Yeah - we are very happy! No more lugging fencing bags, mask bags, jacket bags, boxes, reels, ...
We are a
not-for-profit community based club. Our enthusiastic members are very active in
fundraising, with activities such as sausage sizzles, selling Cadbury
chocolates, Results Books and club clothing all contributing to club coffers.
All monies raised are put back into the club.
The club has also been
successful in grant applications in recent years, with outcomes including the
club able to retain members, increase its inventory, increase the level of
safety equipment used, allow members to fence in higher graded competitions plus
run free courses for the community.
