Officiating Commission members – applications

The Fencing New Zealand Officiating Commission is looking for new members.

Following extensive feedback from the fencing community, it is apparent that the timing of the new mask rule, in time for the Presidents Cup, did not give sufficient time for fencers to meet the new rule requirements.

Entries are open for the President's Cup to take place 3rd and 4th July in Christchurch. Details can be found through the following link:

The selection period for fencers wishing to compete at the Commonwealth Senior Fencing Championships will run from approximately 15 months to 3 months before the commencement of the competition date.

Due to the ongoing issues and risks around international travel, Fencing New Zealand will not be sanctioning nor appointing a managed team to travel to Sydney to attend this tournament. This means that there will be no Fencing NZ nominated fencers, appointed coaches nor managers attending the event.

Good luck to our fencer Matt Baker who heads off today to the Asian Zone Olympic Qualifying competition in Tashkent - Uzbekistan.

Fencing South and Fencing New Zealand invite you to attend the South Island Champs & Veteran Epee 2021, to be held at the Claymore Swords Club, Dunedin on 15/16 May 2021

The Athletes' Commission is pleased to welcome two new members - Grant and Hanna. The Commission has put together some information about training plans for fencers - please see the Athletes' Commission page on this website for further details - Athletes' Commission
