Why does Fencing New Zealand need a CFC22 Project Manager?

The Commonwealth Senior and Veteran Fencing Championships, due to be held in London in August 2022, is now to be combined with the Cadet and Junior Championships.

This will see New Zealand send its largest team to an overseas event ever.

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

The Officiating Commission oversees the organisation and refereeing of fencing competitions in New Zealand. Its mission statement is:

The mission of the Officiating Commission is to review rules and regulations, to organise training and selection of officials to officiate at Fencing New Zealand competitions.

The FeNZ Covid-19 sub committee has reviewed the current situation and elevated Covid-19 alert level status in the Wellington region.

Based on the information available at this point, and following the advice from the FeNZ medical officer, the recommendation is to continue as planned with the President’s Cup this weekend.

The COVID19 Committee advises that unless the whole country is in Level 1, the President's Cup will be postponed. Wellington is currently under a 72 hour Level 2 restriction. The Committee will continue to monitor developments and will make a decision on the President's Cup on Monday or Tuesday.

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.
