I have officially received my BFA epee and sabre Level 2 certificates this week so the club now has two all weapon coaches.  I would like to thank the coach educators Alan Knowles and Herman DuPreez and the great crowd of coaches that trained with me at the Southern Region sessions over the last 14 months.

British Fencing membership – Valid BF membership is required. Please ensure that you renew your membership if necessary before entering.

Southern Region - Fencers may only enter this Regional event if they have specified Southern Region on their British Fencing Membership. Fencers may only fence in a qualifying event in one region in any season.   

UK residents - As these are the qualifying events for the British Youth Championships (BYCs), fencers must be UK residents.

BYC qualification and entry fee - At least the top four fencers in each competition will qualify for the BYCs. More will qualify in any competitions with 17 or more fencers. All qualifying fencers will be asked to pay the £21 BYC entry fee on 26 January. If qualifying fencers are unable to attend the BYCs for any reason, their place cannot be reallocated. So the £21 entry must be paid to the Region, as we have to pay this to British Fencing.
