Scottish Plastic Foil Championships are today!

Good luck to everyone taking part!

Salle FiF has fencers taking part in:
the Boys' P3, P4, P5 and P6 Championships;
the Girls' P3 and P7 Championships.

Salle FiF founded!

Today, Salle FiF has been created.

Prof. HT "Bert" Bracewell, the now retired National Coach and National Development Officer of Scotland, has kindly agreed to be our Honorary President, allowing us to use the word "Salle" in our title.  In fencing circles, Salles are the training centres of a specific Master. The organisers and committee of Salle FiF are delighted to have such an eminent Master leading our Salle.

Our new committee have created a constitution, and handed in an Affiliation form to the British Fencing Association via the Home Country Governing Body, Scottish Fencing.

So, as of today, members of Salle FiF may join Scottish Fencing as Social Members.
