The British Youth Championships are held in Sheffield from the 30 of April to 2 May 2016. If you have a bye British Fencing will contact you to inform you how you can enter this competition. If you don't have a bye you must enter a regional qualifier. If you wish to enter the British Youth Championships regional qualifier for Scotland West then you must email Becky by the 30 Jan 2016.

This is on hold until later in the year - we hope to finalise a date late spring/early summer.

The Epee Development day is for everyone fencing epee.

The idea of the day is to create a learning environment where those more experienced in coaching or fencing epee can share their experience and knowledge.
