All personnel who have electronically registered to compete at any of the listed competitions will be stored within the competitions database. Prior to an event this database can be interrogated to show who is expected to compete.
Command Championships
Nominally held on the 1st weekend in February at RAF Cosford, each Command holds a separate competition to determine their Champions. This is then followed by an Inter Command competition at all 3 weapons to determine who is the best Command.
Senior Championships
The Senior Championships are open to ALL RAF fencers, from novice upwards. Selection for the RAF team for the Inter Service competition is finalised here, plus individuals can qualify for each weapon at the Combined Service Championships.
One Hit Epee
Many competitions rolled into one, the One Hit epee has individual (mens and ladies), scratch team and Inter Unit titles to offer. If that isn't enough, the International Military event also takes place pitting RAF, Army, RN, Veterans (and in previous years Met Police and Civil Service) against each other in a rolling 45 event which always proves to be extremely close.
Junior Championships
The Junior Championships exclude any fencer who has received their RAF Blues or won the Junior Master-at-Arms title in the past, This provides the Junior fencers with a chance to demonstrate their abilities without having to face the RAF "big guns", and always leads to an exciting competition, with the Master-at-Arms elevated to Senior status.
Team Competitions
There are many team competitions throughout the year that the RAF are invited to compete at.
Register your availability early to ensure you have a chance to be selected for your preferred weapon.
