We are pleased to announce that the Cadet Winton event has returned to its traditional format of fencing over 2 days with an overnight stay for the fencers. This years event is being held at its new venue of Bromsgrove School . It will take place over the weekend of the 21st/22nd December, and Welsh Fencing have selected the following fencers for this event:
Selection for this event is entirely discretionary, and where possible, the selectors have chosen teams with some experienced fencers, and are providing opportunities for fencers that may not have represented Wales previously.
Fencers competing at this event are eligible for the "Wales Regional Team" patch and will be presented with these at the event.
Full details will be provided for the team once they have accepted their place, but please be aware that fencers will need to arrive by 10.00am on the Saturday morning, and will finish at approximately 4.00pm on the Sunday (subject to confirmation).
Next Steps
Selected fencers will be notified by email and will need to confirm their availability by 29th November.
Welsh Fencing will be paying the entry fees for this event, providing a Cadet Winton t-shirt, and subsidising the accommodation costs for each fencer. We will also be providing coaches for the teams and a fully qualified team manager to organise the event and ensure the safety and welfare of the fencers.
A contribution will be required for each fencer. This will be around £75 to £100. This will go towards fencers' accommodation, dinner, and breakfast.
The board would like to congratulate the fencers selected and wish them every success at this event
