Below is the January update of the running total of the BF ranking points scored by Scottish fencers between 1 July and 31 December 2017.

The following fencers are selected for 2018 Challenge Wratislavia. Congratulations to all the fencers who took part in the YDS and Qualifying events.

We will send out formal invites soon to those listed below, if you already know that you do not wish to go with the squad or if you are unable to attend please email admin@scottish-fencing.com .

If you have any questions about the selection please email selection@scottish-fencing.com with your questions.

The selection process is underway for 2018 Challenge Wratislavia and we hope send invites to all the squad soon.

These are the rankings after two rounds of fencing (YDS Rounds 1 and 2).

There are two more qualifiers after today, 2 December and 15 December

We are very lucky to have a volunteer compile these for us, thanks Fiona! if there are any corrections or omissions please contact the office so we can address these.

These lists show a running total of the British Fencing ranking points scored by Scottish fencers since the selection period for the Commonwealth Fencing Federation Championships (CFFC) began on 1 July 2017.  They apply the BF ranking rule of allowing the sum of a fencer's best six results, of which no more than four may be from FIE Competitions. 

Following a review of earlier grant applications, Scottish Fencing recognise that many clubs have been deterred from applying for grants due to the requirement to reach a set target of members. 

We appreciate that many clubs cannot afford to lose money on these activities if they failed to reach their member target. 

In order to protect clubs from this Scottish Fencing will cover successful applicants’ costs to ensure they do not lose money on activities, so long as every new/returning fencer that attends an activity becomes a member of Scottish Fencing.

Scottish Fencing is today announcing the departure of Andy Alderman from the role of Club Development Officer.

Andy leaves on 30 November having joined the Scottish Fencing staff in April 2016.  Andy is of course a well known personality in the Scottish Fencing community, thanks to his tireless work on the coaching and high performance side over several years.

Good luck to the following who are competing at the Senior 5 Nations on the 25 November in Cardiff.
