On Sunday 21st August – Great Yarmouth & Waveney Fencing Club will be hosting a 5-hit (and 10-hit if time permits) GB League Foil event specifically for those aged U14. As a GB league event, this means that all fencers will receive the same number of bouts – taking part in a poule unique against everyone else who enters. There will be no elimination and everyone will start and finish at the same time. For GB league events competitive membership is not required but fencers must still hold either a recreational or starter level membership.
In GB league events, fencers gain 1 point for every match they take part in and a bonus 2 points for every match they win. These results go towards a national league table run by British Fencing. However the main purpose for hosting this event is to give young fencers the opportunity to fence against those outside of their clubs and to gain experience of what a competition can be like but in a friendly and welcoming environment.
This event will run using Size 3 or smaller Foils.

Please note this event is being run alongside GYWFC’s annual Foil Invitation (for senior fencers) and these events share the same entry form. Fencers who are aged 13 or above on the 21st August may choose to take part in the senior Foil Invitation instead, but will require full competitive membership for this.
