They are often a minority within the clubs and may not have the opportunity to practice and fence with their age peers. They are usually fencing with much younger fencers which might not allow older fencers to continue to develop to their full potential within their peer group. Female fencers, for whatever reason, are less likely to remain in competitive fencing above the age of 40 and this create
s an unbalance in our sport. This is nowhere more evident than when trying to find fencers to fill women’s weapon teams for the Veterans Winton Cup event. We aim to:
• provide a club in the Midlands regions to allow veterans fencers to practice and train with their age peer groups and other experienced fencers to improve their personal performance,
• improve the standard of veterans fencing in the Midlands region with a view to increasing personal satisfaction and national and international success,
• provide structured personal training programs for those members aspiring to a higher level of personal performance,
• provide wireless fencing at all three weapons,
• encourage membership of British Veterans Fencing so that members may avail themselves of the opportunity to participate in national and international veteran’s events. Time and Venue:
Monday evening from 8pm to 10pm
Harvey Hadden Sports Village, Wigman Road, Nottingham NG8 4BP
