    Club Equipment

    I just joined my schools fencing club. We are looking for a place to buy a lot of foils and mask cheap and in bulk. Like ten to twenty foils here, and alot of mask. does anyone know a good sight I have tried Leon Pual they dont offer discounts. Remember Im talking cheap, as a club in school we dont get much money at all.

    AFAIK, Leon Paul (on www.leonpaul.com) do offer discounts when one is buying lots of gear, go to shop and scroll down, and it'll say something about registering an account for such users. Another idea is to make everyone in the school club pay a membership fee, like they do here

    At the start of the year, about 40 people were in the gym to start fencing (thats plenty for us! despite our school having 2600 boys[Auckland Boys Grammar] fencing isnt that popular).

    The first lesson of fencing is always painful for a school kid (unless your Mr Super Fit..), and they get bored of learning the stance, parries etc when all they wanna do is poke each other
    But the idea is that school fencing is just a cashcow, and a stepping stone to club fencing.
    The last lesson this year had 8 people there! Sure, exams were coming, but still...

    if you want cheap cheap cheap, go BG or FP. BG's service has dropped off and i've only placed one very important order with FP and they've messed it up a bit. LP is wonderful, but its not cheap.
