This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of UK competitions, but rather one of likely competitions that OFC members might care to enter, as they are no more than a nominal two-hour drive from Oxford. If there are any unlisted competitions you think might interest other OFC members then please let Richard know.

January

Southern Region Epee & Sabre, 15 January

Congratulations to Ben Schneider for winning the silver medal in the Boys' Under14 epee in Reading.  He lost the final by just one hit (9-10) and has now qualified for the British Youth Championships later in the year.  Luca Roth was placed fifth (having been top qualifier after the poules) and Alexander Hardie was sixth in the field of fifteen boys.  After the poules the OFC boys were placed 1-2-3 but Luca and Alexander were unable to continue this form into the Direct Eliminations.               Full epee results 

Ben and Alexander swapped their foils for epees for the day.
