Activities
Club championships
Every year in December we organize the club championships.
Parent / child fencing
Spend a sportive evening with your child? This evening it is possible for one parent or caregiver, together with his / her fencing child to experience a lesson. Fencing material from the club is available for free this evening.
Registration is not necessary and participation is entirely without obligation. The maître lets you know through your child when there is another evening parent-child fencing evening. By then it is also in the calendar.
Note: wear room sports shoes and easy-fitting clothing!
Fencing demonstrations at Heeze Castle
Although we have previously communicated something different, participation in the Castle Day will not take place this year.
Annual meeting
For an association, the annual meeting is an important moment in which decisions for the coming year are taken.
Do you already have questions and / or comments about this? Then of course they are also very welcome at the board.

Jeugd Punten Toernooi
The Youth Points Tournaments (JPT) are a series of easy accessible tournaments where youth fencers can compete against opponents of their own age and level once a month. For winning games and scored hits, points are awarded with which different diplomas and Brassards are earned. It is a nice stepping stone to KNAS tournaments and for many the ideal acquaintance with competitive sports.
En Garde calls on all young people to join the JPT to taste the atmosphere and experience how much fun it is to fence real matches. You can measure yourself with peers from other fencing associations.

Newsletter summer 2023
Kasteeldag Heeze was a success!
For years we have been participating in the Kasteeldag in Heeze on Whit Monday, but never before have so many members been present for the screen demonstration in this unique setting! We can therefore look back on a very successful day. The castle manager thought so too, who thanked us extensively for our participation.
We’ll be there again next year for sure!
ALV and barbecue
On July 1, everyone is welcome again at our annual general meeting of members (ALV) with barbecue. The ALV is from 5.30 pm to 6.00 pm, after that we will have a nice BBQ.
We really like that we can meet and BBQ in the garden at Bart Smits, one of our members. The address is Hoogstraat 63, 5502 AV Veldhoven.
We will send an invitation via the WhatsApp groups with a request to indicate whether you will be present at the ALV and / or the BBQ. The BBQ is free for members, for family members (parents, brothers / sisters) we ask for a contribution of 15 euros, please transfer to bank account NL17 INGB 0004 2007 84 before July 1st.

Weapons of Brabant tournament
The first edition of the Wapens van Brabant tournament would take place on Saturday 3 June. Everything was prepared: competition schedule, hall, competition secretariat, first aid, prizes. But unfortunately, a tournament can only take place if there are enough registrations. And it was not our association’s fault, you were enthusiastic enough!
We will do this differently next year. Because we wanted to keep it a bit smaller and especially for this region, we had turned it into an invitational tournament. Next year we will post the convocation (invitation) on Nahouw. We also make it possible that you have to register via Nahouw.
So we didn’t succeed this year, but we have lessons that we will take with us to make it a successful tournament next year!
Second and third prize 💪
Kuzey and Rüzgar Nurver participated in the Waal Rijn Toernooien in Nijmegen in May. And not without success: they came second and third respectively. Congratulations, gentlemen!
