Lyndon Martin - Honorary Life Member Award
Following what must be the longest award
ceremony, we were at last able to present Lyndon with his
award. The Welsh Open was a great event to do this, as
friends and fencers were able to be there.
The original award was announced after the AGM in 2020, and the final presentation was held on Sunday after the Men's Epee poules were complete.
Congratulations, Lyndon, for a life in fencing - competitive fencer, coach and supporter!
Cadet Winton 2021
Following the cancellation of last year’s event, we are pleased to see that the Cadet Winton team competition will be running again in 2021. The format has changed to one weapon per day to avoid overnight stays as part of the COVID mitigation measures. For this year only, there is also the opportunity for U18’s (born 2003) to take part as they will have missed out last year.
Welsh Open
The Welsh Open is a 6 Weapon event that has now been running for over 50 years. It is still a major event on the tournament circuit, and attracts a large number of fencers.
We have a dedicated website that includes full details of the event, plus links to archive results.
Latest News and Team Selection
What's new in Fencing in Wales. This includes team selection announcements.
Athlete Development Programme
WF are pleased to introduce the ADP Cymru - an Athlete Development Programme focussed on the needs of Welsh fencers. We want to create a fencing organisation that the people of Wales can be proud to represent, support and aspire to be part of; creating a group that exhibits the best standards of personal character but also excels in technical, physical and tactical competence. Follow the link for more details on this programme.
teamo
teamo is a communications platform, used to support team selection and communication. The platform is app-based, and allows parents to register their children. It is fully GDPR-compliant and allows parents to see any comms and invitations directed to their children, and respond on their behalf. It reduces the need for emails, which are difficult to track, and often missed because they end up in Junk folders.
Team Selection
Are you eligible to fence for Wales? That's in here. As well as selection criteria across each of our age categories (Youth, Cadet, Junior, Senior and Veteran), and across each of the events types (Commonwealth, National and Regional).

Online Shop
We have worked with a local supplier, Olorun Sports, to design a bespoke set of kit that reflects the Welsh national colours of green and red. The aim is to give all members a clearer identity as Welsh fencers.
