I acknowledge that there is an inherent risk of personal injury in physical activities that will be undertaken with the Club and I accept that risk. In the event of injury or illness during participation, where I am unable to give consent for medical treatment, I consent for myself and/or my child/ward to receive medical treatment which may be deemed necessary and to pay/reimburse costs which may be incurred in the process. I agree that I and/or my child/ward will comply with all the policies, rules, regulations, codes of conduct, conditions of membership and the constitution of the Club. I acknowledge that I have sole responsibility for my personal possessions and equipment during all the events and activities. I understand that the Club may take photographs of participants in events and/or activities, for use in promoting the Club and that, wherever practical, the Club will obtain my permission for this at the time. If I do not consent for myself and/or my child/ward to be photographed I undertake to advise the photographer/s at the time and to assist them by staying out of the shots wherever practical. Should I refuse consent for any and all photography of me and/or my child/ward, I understand that the Club will make its best efforts to ensure that no photographs of me and/or my child/ward are used by the Club. --- Thanks to support from our State MP Trish Doyle with an Office of Sport Local Grant in 2021 and 2023, we’ve been able to run this comp using the state of the art scoring equipment which the grant provided.  Thanks to support from Katoomba and Upper Blue Mountains Community Bendigo Bank Branch, we’ve been able to buy a laptop to run the comp using the software Fencing Time and to purchase three new pistes.
