Excalibur Community Fencing Club

From the WAFA site:

Please note that Belmont City College is unavailable for competition in the morning of 13 Mar 2010. Accordingly we will trial using the Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre (next door) for the epee competition. The sabre tournament will continue as per usual at Belmont City College in the afternoon.

This is on the other side of Abernethy Road from Belmont City College, to the south of the intersection with Alexander Road.

Several people asked recently about the actual location in Belmont where many of the WAFA competitions are held. This is the Belmont City College Gymnasium at 106 Fisher Street, Belmont. That’s between Alexander Road and Wright Street. Here is a Google Maps link.

However, please see the above post for news of a change of venue for the WAFA Open 1 Épée competition.
