Back on the (outdoor) piste...Head Coach @jonsalfield and Asst Head Coach Balazs Kurucz worked through 12 lessons today, with almost 40 more booked for next week!
As fencers, we acknowledge opponents and supporters with a salute. Now, let's salute our NHS. Tag your salute selfies with @britishfencing and #SalutetheNHS. We'll build a wall of images to show our respect and thanks. 🤺🙏
Here's the 1st from Dr Mary Cohen. Now it's your turn!
The FIE have confirmed to BF that Cadet and Junior World Championships in Salt Lake City will be postponed.
Also, with immediate effect all FIE competitions are suspended for 30 days. Resumption of competitions to be decided within this period of 30 days.
Thank you @JWTelegraph for shining a light on this. We must take a preventative approach rather than simply increasing the support services to help people cope with a de-humanising system.
A ground-up cultural shift in sport is possible. (1)

Try always to be well meaning with the best of intentions for others. Being kind is something we can never truly give away as it’s invariably given back to you in spades. The intention costs nothing but it’s always relentlessly rewarding.
@RAF_fencing we’d love one of your special letters 🙂. We’ve got a few foilists and epeeists that can’t wait for the #raf open! 🤺 Sending some postal details via dm. #fencing#HQRAFSport#britishfencing
