The only "air hit" I recall was brought to the armoury by Pat Casey.

I examined the epee, and the cause was that the threaded part of the point, where the contact spring is attached, had snapped...

People are strange shapes.
Very simple to put a couple of darts at the back of a slightly baggy lame.

As an aside, the vast majority of lame jackets in sabre and foil do not fit their owners in...

"Three sports halls" is a movable feast, especially considering the size of the three at the Camden International. Do you know the internal dimensions of the Copper Box? It didn't seem nearly that...

Birmingham has 23 pistes. Even so we manage a reasonable size event, through some careful juggling, although it came a bit of a cropper for the Women's Epee today. Sorry girls!

The two stage...

...and while I remember, we have been informed that there is no charge for parking on campus on the Saturday and Sunday.

Be sensible though - don't park on yellow lines, out of marked bays, or...

Don't forget, Sunday March 31st is the first day of British Summer Time.
Check-in will still close at the times listed below, and if you're late you may well not get to fence.

If I have to get up...

All 2-pins must have a retaining device (it's in the rules). If the wire doesn't have a clip to grab the socket, the socket should have a clip to grab the wire. This alone should result in the wire...

BFA as an organisation has a history of scheduling important Board and General meetings on awkwardly busy days.

Small and picky point (from me? how unusual), but in justifying non-selection, it would perhaps be politic at least to spell "sabreurs" correctly. This might give the impression that it's a word...

Final MS entry 64
No idea of NIF yet, sorry...

One wave of poules, all into the new gym as soon as practical (L32), even arranged for dismal weather to avoid the sun while fencing down in the...

Words fail me.

Not received.
Not surprised.

The only reason I can think of is if a fencer had a "favourite" mask which they felt was magical and somehow got them that extra hit when they needed it, but they knew it would fail weapon check on...

Quite honestly, we can't tell.

In practise, all it would take would be a small pair of holes at the back corner, through which a secured tag is threaded. Alternatively, to add a secured tag...

Simple answer, if you haven't already worked it out from the relatively straight-forward responses you've had so far -

YES.

If you are covered by some insurance other than BFA, there may be...

We passed several blades at the Europeans this year which still had control markings from Atlanta 1996

Apologies - quick trip back up the thread,


This is not correct in the case of the weapon control staff (strictly speaking we aren't there to "do armoury" at all). Bear in mind there are (as...

It would seem that you already had enough from your petition to require an EGM. Had you done so at the start of this thread you might even have been attending the meeting this weekend.

Really.

Okay then I shall try to make some of what I put a little plainer.

I fully support the Committee's right to decide as they have done.

The members have charged them with the...

You might be out of luck. Pretty much all the usual suspects will be at the Test Event.

Pretty much as above - remove the point and test all lines for shorts.

Interesting that

- A-B with tip pressed is zero
- and A-Bell(C?) *not* pressed is zero

but

B-C with tip pressed...

Agree entirely, however you can't have it both ways. The petition described in the thread's original post is similar. A canvass of opinion from a selected group, "virtually" all of whom signed it. ...

Yep - The best 70 year olds will give most a run for their money and you will get a more accurate seeding and therefore selection criteria when they fence a range of abilities. The Vets is a...

...when in the opposing case one could be selected for fencing at one specific event where no-one else turns up? I'm the current 40-49 age group sabre champion (which may have qualified me for...
