Wellington Swords club is hosting the 2017 Central Open Competition on 14th and 15th October, at the Wellington Bowling Club in Brooklyn.
Spaces are limited to 20 per weapon, so make sure to get in now if you want to compete. This will be a great warm-up after the holidays for those of you going to Auckland for NZ and Oceania Opens. Entries are due by 12th October.
Registration and full details can be found here: Central Open October
Registrations for the 2017 NZ & Oceania Senior championships close this Saturday at midnight. If you want to attend this competition, make sure to get your entry in soon.
This open competition is held over Labour weekend in Auckland, and has team and individual events.
Entry details can be found at the Fencing New Zealand website.
Una has kindly offered to open up the club rooms this Thursday (5th Oct) so that you can get in a bit of casual fencing. This is a great idea to keep up your fitness in the lead up to Central and National champs later in the month.
This will be a self run session, so is recommended for intermediate and senior level fencers, though anyone is welcome, and will run from approximately 6.30pm till 8.30pm.
See you all there!
The third 2017 Central U11/U13 competition is being held next Sunday at the HVFC clubrooms. Make sure to get your entry in by the 22nd September if you wish to compete.
We strongly recommend competing if you can make it. It is a fantastic learning opportunity for all of our younger fencers, and is always good fun! If you need to borrow any equipment, this can be arranged at training this week.
