Fencers need to be affiliated at the correct level with their fencing region and Fencing New Zealand. If you have any questions about this please enquire to your regional organisation. 

Set Up/Pack Up:

On the entry form there is a field asking local fencers to help with set up/pack up on either Wednesday night or Sunday afternoon. It's always the same people doing it at every event, so it would be fantastic to see some fresh faces helping out with this. If you come along on Wednesday night for set up you'll be able to get your weapons checked too.  

For those helping out with setup, the gym will be open from 6pm
