Timetable*

Fencing New Zealand (FeNZ) is on the lookout for a passionate and proactive Health and Safety Officer to join our Board. This key role is all about ensuring the safety of everyone involved in fencing activities nationwide.

Due to the change in date of the Australian Juniors (due to the date of Asian Juniors), we have had to move the NZ Juniors to April. The new date is 12th and 13th April.

We are looking for EOIs for a Manager and NZ Registered Coach for the tour to the Australian Juniors 2025.
