I don’t remember what year exactly it was that I became involved in running this event – possibly 2020 or maybe earlier. In that time though it had changed significantly (for the better). The venue is now settled at the excellent Triangle Leisure Centre in Burgess Hill after we lost Whitgift School due to a change in policy relating to external organisations hiring their facilities. There is an amazing team of people involved in putting together this competition, and it has now become one of the largest youth fencing competitions in the country. Last year we over 300 entries across all the weapons, up from just over 200 in 2020.
Entry for the 2024 event is now open on Sport80 – https://bf.sport80.com/v/3308/e/events
