Southern Fencing

Southern Fencing Region

Southern Fencing Region (formerly known as “Southern Section”) represents the fencing communities of Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire within England Fencing and British Fencing, and ultimately, within the world fencing organisation, Federation Internationale d’Escrime

Southern Fencing holds regional competitions and organises training for fencers, referees and armourers, along with child protection and other relevant issues.

It is a non-profit making organisation, governed by its members, through a committee elected/confirmed annually by an AGM.

Boxes:
Please can clubs provide boxes for the day. We will need eight boxes to
ensure smooth running of the event.

Referees:
We will need some referees for the Novice. If you are entering the
Senior event, please let the organisers know if you are willing to
preside the Novice event.
The senior event will be self presiding

Club organisers and coaches:
The novice is a friendly event and it is a good opportunity for
beginners/novices to get more experience fencing different opponents in
a more competitive environment.
Please encourage your less experienced fencers to attend the Novice
event. Support your fencers by ensuring that they are fully equipped
with two working foils and spare body wire (or can borrow from
club/friends).
