NEW ADULT AND JUNIOR COMPETITIONS AT SALLE OSSIAN

 A warm welcome back to everyone, hope you had a great holiday and are getting ready for the 2024-25 season .  We want to continue to find new ways to support our members and sabre fencing in Scotland as best we can.  With a huge increase in travel, accommodation and entry fees for competition, we want to increase the number of events in Scotland so you can develop and keep your resources focused on the essential qualification and international events you might have as targets this year.  

 To that end, as well as the Open competitions and youth championships on the Scottish Fencing calendar, we are going to run three development competitions each term using our very popular format where you get a round of poules fencing to 5 points followed by a round of poules fencing DE fights.  That way, everyone gets the same amount of competition development opportunity at the right level for you.

 This term we are running competitions at Salle Ossian on the following dates:

 5th October

9th November

14th December

They will be for under 13’s in the morning (10-1pm) and senior (over 13’s) in the afternoon (2-5pm).  The fomat will be one round of poules fencing to 5 points followed by one round of poules fencing to 10 points (for u13) or 15 points (for senior event).  The events will be limited to 18 entries.  There is a charge for these events for non-members of Salle Ossian.

 Any volunteers and contributions of baking etc gratefully received.  

Information on how to book will follow shortly.
