As 2023 comes to an end, I thought it would be interesting to looks at some of the key stats from the last 12 months. Although entries are still down on pre-covid times, there was a significant increase in competition participation when compared with 2022. Domestic competition activity for 2023 rose from 1619 fencers in 2022 to 2288 - this is very much in line with the numbers we were seeing in 2019. That being said, the number of competitions being entered has not recovered, finishing at 6812 which is significantly down from 7918 in 2017.
