Scarisbrick Swords is a not-for-profit community sports club governed by a constitution. We aim to promote the sport of fencing, particularly for young people, in Southport and the surrounding area and to use fencing to improve the health and wellbeing of club members.
We also aim to offer affordable access to coaching and equipment for all members and work with local organisations, particularly schools, to promote fencing and its benefits. There are several members of the club who pursue national and international competitive opportunities and we try to provide them with as much practical support as we can.
Paul is the club's chairman and beginner's coach. He is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the club and the liasion with Scarisbrick Hall School staff. Paul is happy to answer any queries about the club and would love to welcome you on one of our beginner's courses. Paul can be contacted by email at paul@scarisbrickswords.co.uk, or by Twitter at @ScaSwords.

As the club has a strong focus on developing fencing opportunities for young people, we take ensuring their wellbeing very seriously.
