2008 Summer Training Camp

Programme

We are offering places for around 40 fencers aged 16+.

We arrive Friday 8th August.  Dinner will be provided in the centre.  Food is served in the self-service restaurant.  It is typically Hungarian, and good quality.

Five days of training are included, starting Saturday 9th.  The days will be divided into 4 sessions, each session will have a different theme. 

These are long days, and the training is intense, and we have found it very important to have a day off.  We have arranged a trip for sightseeing in Budapest.

We train from 8.30 in the morning with a long midday break — it is likely to be pretty hot!  Plenty of time for sunbathing.

We train Saturday and Sunday, day off Monday, train Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, when we will hold a small competition, individual or team, and hope to invite local fencers to join in.

On Thursday evening (last night), we will arrange a trip to a local hilltop restaurant.

We leave Friday 15th August.
