Thanks all, she was chuffed to bits, from a not so great start in the poule, she fought two good DEs (taking 2nd seed in L16) to get a very credible L8. At this point still trying to beat the cut...

Superb, go go EPEE :)

Absolutely belting result Georgina.

Thanks so much for reminding the powers to be that Epee exists, you were badly short changed in 2012, good on you for proving a point.

And for the record,...

Perhaps she needs to do a beginners course and then take instruction on both epee and sabre so that she at least knows a little about the skills required in competing with different weapons in hand?...

Rebecca is entered, thanks for the list, would be nice to see a few more, are there prizes this year? If so, maybe an idea of what might encourage the entry lists to expand a little :)

Happy to keep petitioning for full squads to be sent to both epee and sabre comps, as I have said numerous times, the cream will rise. Not given the chance, they will never know, getting a bit...

I too would be interested in the WE entries list if you are able to post one to date. Still deciding whether to come along or not.

My understanding is that only the two top tiers will be funded by UKS, the pathway below that is not expected to receive any funding, that will be down to the fencers and their parents.

That said,...

Thanks to Barry and his team for another great WE comp. It was fab to see around a third of the contingent from overseas, including an olympian and a very promising young Egyptian at 16yrs (WR46),...

I had some very interesting conversations at the weekend in Newcastle which highlighted not just how disenchanted people were with the whole system outside the group of funded fencers (by the way,...

In my time with Modern Pentathlon, Sport England tied in funding to a quite massive increase, percentage wise of membership of junior participants.

In order to achieve this, and I think they did,...

Any idea who the others are? all foil I suspect.
Any sign of funding for the other genders/weapons anywhere?????

Perhaps if those at the top end of UK fencing had some concept of what was...

Just to clarify, the regional hubs are not intended to take over from the academy in any shape or form, we just haven't got the resources. The original remit was to develop workforce and provide...

I think entry lists are difficult as entries go via FIE. Last year there was a decent enough turnout and the standard was good. The comp itself was amongst one of the best we attended for layout...

Good Italian, up the hill past the fountain, I think 2nd road on right, child friendly have used it for years.

City centre very lively, lots going on.

If the kids get bored, there is I think an...

Interesting comment as I think Ed-R would agree, the two you have cited have not really been competing in Uk for some time, think Corinna is due to compete at Elite in July, have to say my daughter...

Think they are all there, someone was discussing the WE teams scores yesterday, long document though I think and a bit time consuming to navigate. ME must be there if WE is.

That is one impressive GBR line up so far Chris, looking forward to seeing who else enters, are you likely to get any internationals? NIF could exceed 100 which would be I think best of the season,...

Hi all,

No BF do not control the prices. Our hub training days are open to all, we aim to break even not profit and if we are fortunate enough to do so will plough it back into fencer and coach...

Hi all in the southern region

Our next training day will be Sunday 24th March 2013
New Venue: St Gabriel's School, Sandleford Priory, Newbury, Berkshire, RG20 9BD
Time: 10am to 4pm
Cost £25...

Will get Rebecca to rally the troops, sure it will top NIF 100. By the way, just checked the entry list, think it may need an update. Despite what some people think this does work, as I think you...

I am still banging on with this, BF have a broad plan but no details as yet, have asked the questions and when I get anything definitive will let you know.

As I have said, if they don't recognise...

There are very promising Junior WE and ME squads in the making for next season, hopefully the performance management group will start putting wheels into motion on their pathway programme in time for...

Well done girls, excellent results. Got everything crossed for you. Glad to see all 4 of you through :)

Hi Barry, are you going to post an entry list anywhere? We will be coming along as you know, all booked and apologies made to regional excalibur team but I think people like to be kept informed...
