Returning for the eighth time, the Oxfam Open is the original charitable fencing open. First run in 2008 and then again in 2009, the competition was sadly off the calendar for a number of years. Since the resurrection of the event in 2013 we have raised over £5000 for Oxfam's various appeals.
This year's event will be taking place on the 7th and 8th December. We are delighted to say that this year's event is again taking place at the Cardiff Academy of Fencing. This fencing-specific venue allows us to offer better changing facilities, more metalic pistes and a finals' hall. There is also plenty of parking at the venue.
As is usual, the six events will be split across the two days of the competition. Men's and Womens Foil along with Men's Sabre will be on the Saturday; Men's and Women's Épée & Women's Sabre will be on the Sunday. Sign in for each weapon will close at the following times:
Saturday 7th December: Men's Foil - 10 AM | Men's Sabre - 11:30 AM | Women's Foil - 1 PM
Sunday 8th December: Men's Épée - 10 AM | Women's Épée - 11:30 AM | Women's Sabre - 1 PM
