As you may be aware Welsh Fencing are sending an U15 team to the Challenge Wratislavia event, in Poland, for the first time in March next year.
As you can imagine this requires a small workforce of willing and capable volunteers to ensure the safety of our athletes, as well as the right support during the competition to ensure a successful and enjoyable experience for all.
We are also hoping to use this as a development opportunity for anyone interested in becoming part of the WF workforce.
We are looking for a Team Manager, a Lead Coach and Support Coach for each weapon. If you are interested in any of these positions please email secretary@welshfencing.org with the position you would like to apply for, and any past experience (as a fencer or coach/support staff) or qualifications/courses attended. If you have no experience, but would still like to be involved please don't hesitate to apply anyway.
Deadline for applicants is 1st November 2017. Successful applicants will be announced by the end of November.
We are also looking for a Logistics Manager and volunteers to help with/oversee the booking of flights/transport. If you are able to help please email secretary@welshfencing.org (applying for this does not mean you can not apply for any of the positions above).
