The Japanese Fencing Association is holding their Annual Veteran Competition on 3 November, in Tokyo. In Japan, the classification for male veterans is 40+ (born in 1968 or earlier), and female veterans is 35+ (born in 1973 or earlier). Australian fencers who fit these age categories are invited to come to the event, and to train in local clubs beforehand. An Australian tour to take in this event is being organised (some fencers may also take in the New Zealand Nationals, which are in Auckland from 24-26 October). For more information see the below document. If you are interested in taking part, please contact Adam Reynolds at adam@proficio.com.au or 0413 487 640.
