Entries are now being accepted for Southern Region's Age Group Foil competition.
http://www.southernfencing.org.uk/calendar/southern-age-group-foil.htm
The competition will be held on Sunday 26 January, at Fareham Leisure Centre.
The entry fee is £13.50. We hope this will be a really enjoyable competition.
Closing date for entries = 10pm on Saturday 18 January.
To help us plan the competition effectively, a late fee of £27 will be charged for any entries received after that.
Age of fencers
Years of birth for this season are:
U12 - Born 2002 or 2003
U14 – Born 2000 or 2001
U16 – Born 1998 or 1999
U18 - Born 1996 or 1997
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.
