Hello everyone
With the Commonwealth Championships for Junior & Cadet (CJCFC) and Senior & Veteran (CFC) age groups confirmed for August 2022, Scottish Fencing are beginning the process of planning ahead for both events.
We are making the assumption that both events will happen and any safety protocols can be met either by the host nation and/or by ourselves. Therefore, unless external events dictate otherwise, we intend to send teams to both events. The dates and locations are below.
CFC (Senior & Veteran) – London 11-20 August 2022 (Event website here)
CJCFC (Junior & Cadet) – New Delhi 24-30 August 2022 (CFF website here)
The process of putting together a training programme and travel/logisitics for a representative event is difficult, therefore we are asking those interested in competing, coaching or volunteering to please complete the questionnaire below so our Pathways Manager and Performance Director can begin to build a training programme and workforce designed to make the Scottish Team as competitive as possible at both events.
If you have never competed or volunteered, please don’t let that put you off. We have 18 months before the events and the intention is to build an athlete-centric training squad and training programme to make everyone representing us proud of the Scottish team. Within our questionnaire we haven’t asked for referee volunteers as we will utilise the Referee Advisory Group working with the Pathways Manager and Event Organisers to allocate the referee workforce.
Please do reach out if there are any questions, however if you are interested in being a part of the team in whatever role please do complete the questionnaire below. We will follow up directly with some invites to information sharing sessions and initial discussions with athletes and workforce as we build the team and programme infrastructure.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Paul Vaughan – Director of Performance
Blair Cremin – Pathways Manager
