Vets European Championships 2013

Whilst it would be good to see some recognition of their efforts, probably the reason there is no mention is that it was not a British Fencing selected representative team.

True, it wasn't. The Europeans individuals is open to all over 40 years old. However this does not mean to say it is not worth mentioning. The competition is fierce and to medal at this event is hard, possibly even harder than the Worlds which is a selection event. We are there to fence for Britain and all of us are paid up members of British fencing.

I hope that this isn't a sign of things to come, particularly with so many of our Vets winning medals in 'the wrong weapon'. Well done to everyone, and what a shame that BF don't see this huge effort as worthy of celebration .....
