Get ready for the Club’s biggest annual event which promises lots of fun and camaraderie for everyone – fencers, parents, and friends alike: the 72nd running of the Nils Saksen Mixed Handicap Foil Competition.
We are taking registrations prior to the event this year. You can pre register for the competition here
Don’t worry if you forget we will be taking registrations on the day.
DATE: Saturday, 16 December 2023
TIME: Arrive at 8:30am for 9:00am roll call
FEE: $25
Club members of all ages and standards are invited and encouraged to compete. Fencing will use electric equipment with score handicaps against the more competent fencers. Prizes will be awarded to all finalists (top 6).
Not fencing? You’re still invited to join us and cheer on the fencers, help with hospitality, or just have a chat with everyone else.
Parking will be available in the school through the gates to the left of the loading bay.
We will have Club Hoodies,T-shirts and a few pre-loved items and equipment for sale. If you have outgrown and/or unused items, bring them as well — somebody just might be looking for that particular item!
This year we are also seeking volunteer help with the setup and running of the event. You can advise if you would like to help via the registration link.
