Dieppe Fencing Club
Following a telephone conversation with
Frederic Brunier of Dieppe Fencing Club, I am now able to
give out more details for the proposed age group
competition in Dieppe.
It will take place on the weekend of 25th March 2001
The competition will be for foil only.
The competition will be run for U10, U12 and U14 age
groups, with the
categories as definited under french rules. That is age
on 1/1/2001.
All British entrants must have the usual B.F.A.
membership.
The idea will be to arrive on the
Saturday, stay overnight and fence on the Sunday
Dieppe town council are prepared to pay for youth hostel
accommondation for the participants, but in order to
secure this we need a firm commitmant and an accurate
estimate of numbers. Therefore all entrants must submit
an entry form and an accommodation fee as soon as
possible. The accommodation fee of ten pounds per
competitor will only be cashed in the event of the
competitor failing to turn up and will be used to
reimburse the hostel owner. Parents are welcome to come
along, but must pay for there own accomodation. Family
rooms should be available.
Cheques should be made payable to 'The
Hertfordshire Fencing Association'
Entries should include the following: Name, Club, BFA
Number, A Signature of Parental Consent, Date of Birth,
Boy/Girl
Contact Phone Number and a contact e-mail if possible.
The type of accommodation prefered and number of
accompanying adults should
also be stated
The address to send entries is:
Jason Fox
Hertfordshire Fencing Association
7 Pretoria Road
Watford
Herts. WD18 ORL
Any further enquires to the above address or
Tel : 01923 468497 E-Mail mailto:jason_fox@nsb.co.uk
Notes
--------
We need a minimum of 15 confirmed entries for the go
ahead. The maximum entry will be 40. Fencers in
Hertfordshire will get the first opportunity of places.
The most obvious ferry route is Newhaven-Dieppe. The
ferry times are liable to change but at the moment there
is an early morning ferry and a mid-afternoon ferry.
Approx £20 per person, £70 for a car. If more than five
cars are going, itwould be possible to get a 20%
reduction with a frequent sailing club card.

Further Questions as answered by Frederic 9/10/2000
1) What size foil is to be used by the competitors?
0 for 91-91, 2 for 88-89 and 5 for older
2) Could you tell me the precise definitions of the
French Age Categories?
Minime 1986-1987, Benjamin 1988-1989, Pupille 1990-1991
3) Is there any chance of an armoury running on the day?
With the difference in equipment prices and the strong
pound, buying a blade or two would pay for the cost of
the ferry. An armoury has already been booked!
Didier told me that he will have to
submit numbers at the beginning of November.
