Event

This is the first of we hope an annual open air event held in St. Albans. The day is planned as a series of competitions, which depending on interest and numbers applying will comprise of :

Foil - Perhaps a Novice and Open level competition.
Epee - Probably just an Open competition.
Sabre - Hopefully an exhibition match.

Format

The competitions will run though the day, with family and friends welcome to come and watch You'll need to bring a picnic lunch. Once the competition has finished, we'll be having a barbecue in the early evening, which we hope everyone will be able to stay for.

Location

We plan to hold the event in a school playground, which is bounded by a grass bank for the spectators to watch from. We've got use of the school hall if we're unlucky with the weather.
