New Zealand Teams Competition:

We haven’t received any firm expressions of intent to enter a National Teams competition. We were hoping for at least 8 teams for any of the six events to go ahead, but unfortunately this didn't happen. We have called off the event and let the other regions know.

 

Assistance to Fencing North Fencers Competing Abroad:

We have decided to pay for the most expensive entry fee for each of our fencers competing overseas in June/July this year at Asian Champs/World Champs/Commonwealth Junior/Cadet Championships/World University Games. We expect that this will cost us $530, and we will need fencers to provide a receipt for their entry fee before we pay them back for this. Fencers benefiting from this are Alice Boyd, Chris Bell, Hamish Chan, Daniel Garelja, Darya Kharitonova, and Stephanie Wyllie. The motion to do this was moved by Jeremy Dyson and seconded by Oliver Agnew - John Garelja and Linda Boyd abstained, all others were in favour. 

 

Catering for NZ Secondary Schools and U20 Championships:

Catering services at this event will be provided by Auckland High Performance Fencing.

 

July Fencing North Meeting:

We have cancelled the July Meeting. Our next meeting will be held on the 5th August.
