All new fencers are required to pay a membership fee of $55 (which is valid for the 07/08 season). Membership is required if you are out for more than 4 practices in a season, and if you wish to receive group or individual lessons. All members are also required to have a current membership with the Ontario Fencing Association and a license with the Canadian Fencing Federation. Neither of these membership fees is included in the rates listed below. Members of the elite and HP programs are expected to fence under WFC at all CFF events. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the Head Coach.
Unless you have made prior arrangements, dues are payable monthly (with post-dated cheques for the entire term) or termly, on January 9th. There will be a $12 per week late charge for those who do not pay in a timely manner. Those who fall behind in their dues may be asked to withdraw from our programs. Re-entry upon settling of any outstanding accounts will be subject to availability, and at the sole discretion of the coaching staff.
Tournament dues and other fees, where applicable, are payable one week after you receive your invoice (or on the closest Wednesday). Again, there will be a $12 per week late charge for each outstanding invoice for those who do not pay in a timely manner.
Rates for the winter term (January 3rd - April 25th) are posted below. Please note that Ranil will be travelling a fair bit this term.

Monthly rates are calculated based on 4 weeks in each month. This is to allow for any occasional missed or cancelled practices throughout the year. Refunds will only be given in exceptional circumstances.
If you are interested in joining our competitive or elite program, please talk to one of the coaching staff. Note that these are limited enrollment programs. Places in the high performance program will be allocated at the sole discretion of the Head Coach. Fencers joining ELITE or HP programs are expected to commit to that program for the entire term. Please note that all COMP, ELITE and HP members are expected to maintain accurate and up-to-date training logs (which include regular competition reports which are due 5 days after the competition).
