COVID Update - January
The Welsh Government has provided further guidance on the actions that should be taken for indoor sports.
Much of this has been communicated previously, and the link below brings many of those updates together.
Please continue to work with your facilities providers to follow this guidance. If you have any queries, please contact matthew.russell@fencing.cymru
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.
